WOBURN, Mass. — Spring Air International said it has helped its licensees ramp up production and other efficiencies across a network of 10 U.S. factories, working with them to shorten delivery times to retail partners and keep up with pent-up demand.
The licensees, it said in a release, have managed to keep to regular delivery schedules as a result of the new procedures and assistance from corporate, which has led to an increase in business for the brand.
“Buoyed by new relationships with national, regional and independent retail powerhouses, and its ongoing partnership with 223 member Furniture First — a retail buying group with 223 members — Spring Air continues to expand while maintaining timely deliveries, the company said.
“The fact that we were, and remain, prepared with needed materials to meet demand is helping our retailers fill their customers’ needs,” said Nick Bates, president of Spring Air International.

“That’s not the case for a lot of manufacturers right now, and retailers are looking for new bedding partners. While we have had our fair share of issues, we maintain strong communication with our partners to strategize and develop solutions. We are here for them.”
Bates said the Spring Air licensees have worked together to meet the increased demand by, among other things, sharing needed fabric, innersprings and other materials needed to produce the brand’s line.
“We have been actively communicating to fill the void in missing materials by shipping needed materials from one factory to another,” he said. “If New England needed ticking, Texas stepped in and shipped it. There were a lot of instances like that.”
