Bella+Canvas, a fast-growing apparel manufacturer with a “made in the U.S.A.” focus, plans a major investment in Alabama to open an advanced fabric-cutting facility expected to create more than 550 jobs in Wetumpka. The Los Angeles-based company will invest $11.9 million to establish the operation in a portion of an 890,000-square-foot building vacant since 2013, when Russell Brands departed from the Elmore County city. Bella+Canvas produces clothing for the retail and wholesale markets, while also offering clothing design and manufacturing services. The company is known for its domestic manufacturing mission, the development of innovative new fabrics and its sustainability practices. The fabric-cutting facility is expected to create 557 jobs, including spreaders, general cutting laborers, forklift operators, shipping and receiving clerks and administrative staff.
