Local Manufacturers
Nominated for
State-wide Award
M
anufacturing Appreciation Week (MAW) was developed by the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) and the Georgia Department of
Economic Development (GDEC). Manufacturing Appreciation Week will be celebrated April 18 - 22, 2016. The Awards Luncheon will be held
April 21st at the Georgia International Convention Center where awards winners will be announced for three categories: Small Manufacturer (1-150
employees), Medium Manufacturer (151-500), and Large Manufacturer (500+ employees) of the Year.
Each year, individual colleges within the TCSG are asked to nominate local manufacturers they feel have met the criteria set forth by the state-wide
committee. To be considered, a company must have demonstrated corporate responsibility through initiatives such as: company-sponsored community
involvement efforts, civic involvement, educational partnerships, and corporate citizenship honors from industry, government, or community groups.
Additionally, they should have also demonstrated economic growth through their years in the community and economic impact related to revenues,
capital investments, growth of new jobs, or other impact. Finally, businesses should make evident a commitment to workforce excellence through
programs which help employees balance work and family life issues, employee education programs, diversity awareness, and employee recognition /
awards programs. This year’s local nominees are:
American Textile Company
American Textile Company (ATC) opened its 218,000 square foot Tifton,
GA manufacturing and distribution operation in 2011. In August 2014,
the company expanded significantly, building a second facility that
doubled its square footage in the region. These two state-of-theart facilities are engaged in three critical activities for the company:
producing millions of bed pillows annually; warehousing the entire line
of mattress and pillow encasements, sheets, comforters, blankets, and
mattress pads; and housing a new, fully-automated pick and pack facility
built in 2016 that services the company’s direct-to-consumer eCommerce
business. In building and bringing the Tifton operation online, ATC’s
capital investment for plant and equipment is in excess of $10 million.
ATC’s economic impact of its existing facility on the region is significant.
With 248 employees and a payroll of over $5 million, the impact on local
merchants, service providers, and other business approaches $50 million
per annum. With the 2014 expansion and significant further growth
expected, ATC views Tifton, GA as a long term partner in growth.
Cives Steel
Founded in 1981, Cives (si-vay) Steel has grown from a small, local
fabrication company to where they are today: generating annual sales of
$40 million on a variety of large-scale, construction projects throughout
the United States and employing 145 full-time, fully-benefitted workers.
Because the company is able to perform the majority of fabrication
on these out-of-state projects in Thomasville, they bring revenue that
might otherwise go to other states into Thomas County. Cives has an
annual local payroll of approximately $5.5 million dollars that is pumped
directly into the Southwest Georgia economy and draws employees from
any surrounding counties. All Cives’ jobs are full-time, fully benefitted
professional and skilled positions that demand higher wages.
Cives buys as many materials, supplies, and consumables locally, when
possible. Raw material is often purchased from Tifton, consumables
from Thomasville, and supplies from several surrounding areas. In the
past several years Cives has expanded their workforce by increasing
production shop personnel by approximately 15.6% over the past three
years and administrative support staff by 6.6% during the same period.
Stable employment is a hallmark of Cives’ company culture. They have
been able to control their workforce to sustainable levels while working
within a highly turbulent, cyclical construction industry. A testament
to their stability, Cives has been able to withstand the ‘Great Recession’
and collapse of the housing market without having to lay off a single
employee.
Flowers Baking Company

first bakery was opened by the Flowers family in 1919, is today one of

company operates more than 40 highly efficient bakeries that produce a
wide range of bakery food for retail and foodservice customers in the U.S.
The Thomasville facilities proves employment opportunities for over 485
people and generates more than $18 million in annual payroll.
Graco Fertilizer Company
Founded in a 1954 partnership between H.T. LeGette and Robert
Johnson, Graco Fertilizer was predominately a fertilizer manufacturer and
cotton gin. Today, Graco has evolved into a leader in the production of
specialty fertilizer and potting soil because of the vision of Tom LeGette,
who became president of the company in 1970. As the horticultural and
turf industry grew, so did Graco, with an emphasis on specialty fertilizers
and custom potting soil.
In the early eighties, a new generation of LeGettes joined the family
business. Today, Ken and Bob LeGette carry on the vision of their father
and grandfathers. Based in Cairo, Georgia for the past 31 years, Graco is
a privately owned corporation whose production facilities are located in
Cairo and Grady County with distribution centers in Plant City, Florida and
Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The employs 42 individuals on a full-time basis
and is a regular contributor to the communities they serve.
Lauri Jo’s Southern Style Canning
In the summer of 2009, Lauri Jo Bennett began researching what it
would take to begin to produce and sell three products she had become
well-known for producing locally: salsa, pepper jelly, and green tomato
pickles. She started at the local Extension Office where she found the
guidance she needed to help turn a hobby into a thriving business.
When the business started in 2009, Lauri Jo’s utilized the services of a
co-packer. In January of 2010, Lauri Jo’s held a ribbon cutting on their
first facility, and in May of 2010, she brought all production in house. In
January 2011, Lauri Jo’s became a licensed co-packer facility listed with
the University of Georgia. In October of 2011, the company opened a new
4000 square foot production facility with a retail front, and in 2012, they
became an official agritourism destination.
In 2014, Lauri Jo’s added 8 new products and began offering Zeigler’s
Honey (Stockton, GA) under the Lauri Jo label for a total of 17 new
products. They added three new team members that year. Also in 2014,
Lauri Jo’s pickle line went nation-wide with Fresh Market Grocery and the
company added 150 Kroger stores with the full line. Lauri Jo’s products
are sold in Kroger Stores, Sprouts Farmer’s Markets, Whole Foods, Fresh
Market, Earth Fare, and Harvey’s along with many specialty retail and gift
shops across the country. Lauri Jo’s is proud to be a provider of Georgia
products to US Naval Bases around the world and has six products
featured in use at the Food Network Café in Concourse D at HartsfieldJackson International Airport. The company added eight new products
in 2015 and is now selling southern favorites in 41 states and counting.
Lauri Jo and husband, Mike personally oversees all aspects production
