Friday, August 14th, 2020
U.S. Senator David Perdue (R-GA) today toured Fox Factory, a designer and manufacturer of performance-defining, ride dynamics products primarily for bicycles and powered vehicles, in Gainesville, Georgia. In October 2018, Fox Factory Holding Corp. announced the relocation of its corporate headquarters to Georgia, creating up to 800 jobs and investing up to $50 million in new facilities.
“Fox Factory’s investment in Georgia is a testament to our skilled workforce, world-class infrastructure, and business-friendly climate,” said Senator Perdue. “Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, Fox Factory has continued to hire workers to staff their new, state-of-the-art facility in Hall County. As we gradually reopen, Fox Factory will continue to be a strong contributor to Georgia’s economy and help even more people get back to work.”
“We continue to be impressed with the incredible support we’ve received from the local community as well as Senator Perdue and his team as we transition FOX’s headquarters, engineering and manufacturing to Georgia,” said Mike Dennison, FOX’s Chief Executive Officer. “We have found a talented employee base that want manufacturing jobs and careers, and see the opportunity for a bright future with FOX. Recently we conducted a COVID-friendly drive-up job fair where we interviewed nearly 300 people over just a few hours and hired 80 new employees. Successes like our job fair give us confidence that Georgia is the right place to call home.”
