“We are very happy with the success of our operations in the Puget Sound basin and wanted to expand in the Pacific Northwest. In 2004, there were more building permits issued along the I-5 corridor between Salem, Oregon and Tacoma, Washington than there were building permits issued between Tacoma, Washington and the Canadian border. With Longview located right in the center between Salem and Tacoma, we feel we will be perfectly positioned to grow the sales of our company in the southern portion of the Pacific Northwest.”

“The City of Longview and its citizens made a commitment to job creation with the establishment of the Mint Farm Industrial Park. You cannot put a value on a community’s commitment to better itself.

“When we were looking for a site to put our new urethane foam plant, we looked in the Portland metro area, Eugene and southwest Washington. After seeing many potential sights we realized that one site stood out. The Mint Farm Industrial Park had everything we needed.

Longview is conveniently located between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington, allowing us to better service our customers. Longview has a quality workforce to draw from and solid support from other local businesses to help us meet our goals. These factors alone are enough to look at the Mint Farm Industrial Park, but the real clincher for us was the ease of getting started. The City of Longview made the permitting process very easy and was willing to help in any way possible. It has and continues to support us at every turn. This is the type of partnership we were looking for.

It appears that the City of Longview has a clear vision of where it wants to go and how to get there. We at Flexible Foam Products are proud to be a part of that vision, and look forward to many successful years together.”

“It was a pleasure working with an entity that wanted our business and could effectively facilitate our permitting process. The City has qualified, reasonable, and competent staff. The Mint Farm Industrial Park is top notch with good access to transportation, infrastructure, and excellent sites.”
