County facility will relocate to the new site, and an additional 60 jobs are expected to be created through this expansion. The new facility is planned to support significant distribution and fulfillment capabilities for all of Oxford’s brands while accommodating additional capacity for future expansion opportunities.

“We are thrilled Oxford Industries, Inc., chose Toombs County for this milestone business venture,” remarked Truxel. “The Company has been an outstanding corporate citizen in Toombs County since the 1940’s, supporting our local schools, families, and tax base. When they succeed, the entire community succeeds.”
