USAMM Announces Killeen Expansion

Today, USAMM, a military uniform accessory manufacturer, announced its expansion in the Killeen Business Park. The Armed Forces Superstore plans to construct a 25,000 square-foot manufacturing facility on 6.30-acres acquired from the Killeen Economic Development Corporation (KEDC).

According to Keith Sledd, Executive Director of the Heart of Texas Defense Alliance, “It’s rewarding to see a military veteran like Mr. Zabaldo achieve personal success and simultaneously share that success with a military-affiliated community."

The Texas-based company currently leases a 10,000 square-foot building in the Killeen Business Park with 100 employees. According to owner and CEO Jared Zabaldo, “The jobs we create often provide a necessary income for military families. We go out of our way to hire military personnel whenever possible. They intuitively understand the importance of the work we do. There is a pride and attention to detail in their work that is unparalleled."

The 25,000 square-foot facility will allow the company to expand. USAMM starting pay ranges anywhere from $12.00 an hour to salaried positions starting at $35,000 a year. The Killeen Business Park was among several sites considered by the company, but they chose to remain in Killeen for its available land and dedicated workforce.

Killeen Mayor and KEDC member Debbie Nash-King remarked, “I am glad that we were able to provide the necessary land. The company has an impressive commitment to their employees, and I am glad that USAMM will remain in Killeen for the foreseeable future."

KEDC Board President, Randy Sutton, said “We need to encourage more veteran entrepreneurs. They provide a selfless brand of leadership that inspires hard work, ingenuity, and loyalty."
