Why a manufacturer moved its operation from Michigan to Jacksonville

When Addix Sportswear of Lowell, Michigan, acquired Jacksonville-based screen printing company Great Atlantic Outfitters in May, there was originally no plan to consolidate operations.

Dean also emphasized the benefits of running a business in Jacksonville, saying it’s much easier to recruit skilled employees for the companies' specialized positions in a big city in Florida than it is in Lowell, Michigan, population 4,136, where Addix was founded in 2006. Since then, Dean has implemented lots of changes to Addix, the biggest probably being the change in headquarters and consolidation with Great Atlantic Outfitters, a company Dean said he learned about a few years prior, while visiting screen printers across the country.
