Licensee Cameron Bedding expects to stay with new Spring Air entity
By David Perry -- Furniture Today, June 8, 2009
CAMERON, S.C. — Spring Air's long-time licensee here, Cameron Bedding, expects to play a role as a new entity called Spring Air International works to relaunch the brand, officials of the licensee said.
Wes Price, president of Cameron Bedding, said that his company doesn't seek to draw attention to itself, “but our mindset going forward is very aggressive. We intend to be around for many years to come as a Spring Air licensee and/or whatever brand might come our way, but right now we are focused on making beds of quality and providing our customers the best product and service in the industry.”
The company is in this city about 40 miles south of Columbia, S.C. (Furniture/Today incorrectly reported in its May 11 issue that the company was based in Beaufort, S.C.)
Price is one of three brothers in the fourth generation of Cameron Bedding & Mfg. Co., which has been in business since 1895 and is the oldest bedding manufacturer in South Carolina, he said. He works with his brothers Dave and Bill in the business, and his uncle, John Wesner III, chairman, remains active in the company.
“We are the oldest charter Spring Air licensee, from 1928, and the only one to remain in the same family for that time,” Wes Price said.
He added that Cameron Bedding has been “up in sales this year and will continue to grow as the details of Spring Air's future emerge.”
He added that the company plans to open another facility, this one in Georgia, in the near future.
“The demand for Spring Air is growing so fast that we are producing more beds than ever,” he said. “We are now shipping the majority of the Southeast. These are very exciting times and all customers new and old are very excited about the Spring Air brand being available again.”
