The 57,400 square-foot building houses a new state-of-the-art factory, showroom and headquarters in a converted warehouse. The layout features a transparent view into the manufacturing facility that is visible on the first floor, where all of Filson's bags and luggage are sewn. Additionally, the company will be upgrading its factory on Fourth Avenue South in Seattle so that it may continue to utilize the space as a modern apparel manufacturing center.
The new facility is part of a freshly energized direction to expand
distribution globally while elevating the Filson brand. Filson is
currently in three different buildings in Seattle, including this new
location on First Avenue South. The company currently has 224 employees
with plans to expand production, merchandising and design in Seattle.
"This expansion furthers our 116 year commitment to our customers
to provide unfailing goods that allows them to do what they love in the
outdoors," said CEO Alan Kirk. "We celebrate this expansion with our
customers who, thanks to their demand for our products, have allowed us
to stay true to our values of local manufacturing without compromising
quality."
Approximately 70 percent of Filson sales are manufactured in the Seattle Filson Factory. And, as always, all products come with a lifetime guarantee. Filson currently has stores in Seattle, Portland, Ore. and London, England.
