SOREDI Touts Ribbon Cutting for Pacific Wall Systems Expansion in Phoenix
Southern Oregon Regional Economic Development, Inc. (SOREDI), is pleased to announce that Pacific Wall Systems has been expanded to its new headquarters based in Phoenix and will hold a celebratory ribbon-cutting on Monday.
All are invited to attend the celebration beginning at 10 a.m., Refreshments and tours are planned.
Established in 2007, Pacific Wall Systems is a family-owned entity led by President and CEO Konny Knecht. Its first location was in Medford within an indoor facility that it quickly outgrew before moving to a new location in Central Point. For numerous years, they wanted to expand which meant finding a larger permanent home for the business.
Director of Marketing Nancy Mansfield said when the building that formerly housed Boise Cascade in Phoenix became available to lease, they jumped on it. The company now has over 80 employees and serves Oregon, Washington and California. The company expansion was particularly welcome to the City of Phoenix, which continues to rebound from the wildfire disaster of 2020.
SOREDI was introduced to this expansion project in October 2021 after a referral from the City of Ashland, noting the company was considering developing a new facility there and needed assistance.
SOREDI Executive Director Colleen Padilla said this project is exactly what every economic development agency hopes for -- to see an existing traded sector company find the perfect facility fit in short order to minimize disruption in productivity, make new capital investments and add quality jobs.
