MEPPI President and CEO, Brian Heery, stated, “When searching for a potential buyer for the Memphis factory, we engaged in a thorough process, considering many options. Our goal was to find a buyer who could better utilize our modern facility, offer continued employment to our employees and contribute to the Memphis community.”
