This move is part of a larger strategy to expand the company’s footprint and enhance its supply chain capabilities throughout the United States.
“This expansion not only enables us to provide faster and more reliable service to our customers but also contributes to the local economy by creating jobs in the region,” said Kasey Whitman, CEO & President at Watson Gloves. “We’re excited to become part of the Mesa business community and look forward to growing alongside this dynamic city while offering a great location for our U.S customers to engage with our team and learn more about our products.”
Watson Gloves plans to hire a Warehouse Manager and Warehouse Associates in the coming months for the new location. The Mesa branch will offer a wide range of core gloves for diverse industries, including manufacturing, automotive, construction, home improvement, gardening, and more.
