EZ-ACCESS® Announces its Expansion to Kentucky and Relocation of Corporate Headquarters
Auburn, Washington – EZ-ACCESS, a division of Homecare Products, Inc., is pleased to announce the addition of a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Hopkinsville, KY, a relocated corporate headquarters in Auburn, WA, and the opening of an East Coast office in Madison, TN.
The centrally located manufacturing and distribution warehouses combined offer 200,000 square feet of space, which is actively being utilized to meet the increased demand that the company has been experiencing. Over the last 9 months, the new plant has been transformed from an empty building originally used for packing tobacco, into a fully functional operation that has brought over 100 jobs to the area.
Situating all the company’s manufacturing and distribution in the great state of Kentucky provides a consolidation of resources, increased coordination, and a central hub to receive raw materials and efficiently deploy finished goods across the United States. “The partnership our new facilities in Hopkinsville will have with both our existing Morganfield, KY and Henderson, KY plants will be priceless,” says Jim Kruse, COO of EZ-ACCESS. “We will be able to implement strategies such as dedicating entire factories to specific product lines to improve efficiencies and ultimately increase our production volume.”

Many thanks to our internal teams for their impressive collaboration and the execution of an opening and relocation of this caliber.
