"Tony and Terry knew that Purple needed to have its own manufacturing plant. The Pearce brothers, along with their new leadership staff, started with what they didn't want their plant to be. For example, they didn’t want to go through all the cycles that many other companies typically go through, such as implementing homegrown processes. They wanted to leverage best practices while also having their production facilities be as innovative as their products. The company was growing fast and needed a plant floor to match that speed.
The most important factor in the success of any manufacturing enterprise is production. Downtime is an ever-present danger, and Purple needed an operations partner that could keep the production lines moving."
