SIMFLO, a provider of industrial, municipal and commercial-use pumps, has completed construction and officially opened the doors to its new, state-of-the-art, 40,500-square-foot facility in Southaven, Mississippi. Located on 3.5 acres at 8500 Aaron Drive in Southaven, the new facility is positioned just eight miles from Memphis International Airport and 14 miles from the International Port of Memphis. This prime location and proximity to major shipping hubs allows SIMFLO to expedite product delivery and improve supply chain efficiency to better serve its growing customer base in eastern and southern U.S. markets.
Headquartered in Lubbock, Texas, SIMFLO’s new Southaven facility marks the company’s third location in the U.S., the other being in Willcox, Arizona. The SIMFLO team celebrated the new facility on Nov. 19 during a grand opening event and ribbon-cutting ceremony, which was attended by Southaven Mayor Darren Musselwhite, along with key community leaders and representatives from the DeSoto County Board of Supervisors, Southaven Chamber of Commerce, and the DeSoto County Economic Development Council.
The new Southaven facility features modernized office spaces with tons of natural light, all-new flooring and windows, 30-foot ceilings, LED lighting, secure gated employee parking, and sustainable and drought-resistant landscaping throughout. It also boasts a comprehensive warehouse with bridge cranes, a new pipe yard, three large interior dock doors and enhanced exterior storage for seamless commercial vehicle loading and unloading. Additional amenities include office space, a café, shop breakroom, training room, a breezeway picnic area designed for employee relaxation, and advanced technology installations including a Starlink internet system and a new alarm and surveillance system.
SIMFLO’s new Southaven facility offers the company’s full line of high-quality vertical and submersible turbine pumps, as well as other parts and accessories, each engineered and customized to meet its customers’ specific application needs. Approximately 12 employees have been hired to work across sales, management, production, and manufacturing operations, with plans and space for growth.
Danny Dias, who is a longtime Southaven resident with 40 years of experience in the pump industry, has been appointed general manager of SIMFLO’s new Southaven location.
