About Reed Manufacturing Co Inc
Reed Manufacturing Co Inc is headquartered in Tupelo, Mississippi, where it was founded in 1919 by three brothers — Rex, Bob, and A.K. Reed — as a dry‑goods operation in an old warehouse. The company remained family‑run for nearly a century before the employees purchased the business in 2014, making it an employee‑owned enterprise. Production shifted offshore in 2007 after the acquisition of manufacturing facilities in the Dominican Republic (1992, 1997), while a distribution center in Tupelo handles customization — reflective tape application, hemming, pocket additions, embroidery, and RFID chip insertion — and runs a proprietary inventory‑management and forecasting system used for over 50 years. Custom garments are offered with very low minimum order quantities, either under the Reed brand or as private label. Its catalog includes dozens of SKUs for FR garments, food‑service coats, and enhanced‑visibility shirts, all sold through a distributor network. The company emphasizes its long‑standing commitment to “integrity in every stitch,” citing fair pricing, timely delivery, and product durability as core values. Its inventory‑management program is presented as a unique differentiator that helps customers reduce carrying costs, freight expenses, and order‑processing labor.
