In 2009, Powell’s business was growing substantially and they lacked the space in their Houston facility to accommodate the increase in volume. Since they were not ready or willing to invest in a new facility in Houston or a maquiladora, they explored a variety of other options for adding manufacturing space. Although they had a facility in Juarez, Mexico, this location was not a viable option for Powell’s surplus volume as it experienced quite a bit of turnover and struggled to meet Powell’s high standards for quality.
