DUQUESNE, Pa., Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Pittsburgh-based bedding manufacturer American Textile
Company today announced key moves to support its continued growth,
including a new distribution center near its Pittsburgh-area headquarters. The 98,000
square-foot facility in McKeesport
is strategically located to serve customers throughout the
northeast. The company has also appointed Traci Hayes as vice president of its e-commerce
business to drive new initiatives in the high growth segment.
These efforts come on the heels of the company's addition of

and two years of rapid increases in its e-commerce sales. The
McKeesport facility marks American
Textile Company's sixth domestic distribution facility and will
increase its capacity by more than 50 percent in the region. The
textile maker expects to bring more than 75 jobs to the region over
the next five years.
"Conversations around sleep are more prevalent today than ever
before and the category continues to grow," said Lance Ruttenberg, American Textile Company
president and CEO. "Consumers are looking for new ways to foster a
good night's rest and our products help them achieve it. Our
e-commerce business is thriving from the increased demand and we're
expanding to meet those needs."
Recent hire Traci Hayes brings
more than 20 years of e-commerce experience to American Textile
Company, where she oversees all online sales and marketing efforts.
Prior to this role, Hayes spent more than six years leading the
e-commerce business for DICK's Sporting Goods. She holds a Master
of Business Administration degree and a Bachelor of Computer
Information Systems and Management degree from Robert Morris University.
American Textile Company's full range of bedding products from
AllerEase®, Sealy®, Tempur-Pedic® and more will be on display at
