“When I made the decision to relocate this business in 2004, I talked with the governor, and he was extremely supportive,” Bay State CEO and founder Robert Sires told FIN. “We chose Florida over several other states because of their business-friendly policies,” he added.

Bay State opened with 4,000 sq ft and with the addition it reaches 75,000 sq ft.

Sires said the expansion is a result of “a strong government and private business partnership” – including Enterprise Florida, the Economic Development Council of Okaloosa County and Career Source Okaloosa.

“It is so important to create jobs here in America; we remain committed to American manufacturing, and look forward to continued success and growth here in Florida,” Sires said.
