XFS Global LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned business that specializes in fabric shelters, has recently opened in Rockbridge County. The company purchased the assets of Creative Tent International and moved its manufacturing infrastructure from Las Vegas to Natural Bridge Station. With 34,000 square feet leased in an industrial building on Douglas Way, XFS plans to create employment opportunities in the community.

Jacob Furbee, president and CEO of XFS Global LLC, has announced the hiring of five new employees, with more job openings to come. The business produces tents designed for military and commercial applications, in various sizes capable of housing a plane or a command post. The shelters come equipped with HVAC systems, insulation, floors, and lights, with installation services available if needed.

Furbee brings his military experience to his role as he leads the company’s growth plans. Paul Wilcox also joins XFS as vice president and shares Furbee’s commitment to delivering high-quality products and exceptional customer service. As part of their expansion plans, XFS is currently working on fulfilling orders for a Texas customer and a defense subcontractor.

The company’s grand opening is scheduled for December 6th with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate their achievements since forming in September and completing their asset purchase in October.
