Marion, IA – Legacy® Manufacturing Company, the maker of Flexzilla® extreme performance water and air hoses, will be expanding its recently completed facility as a result of continued growth and success in reshoring some manufacturing back to the US.

This expansion adds support for Legacy’s reshoring efforts of its many proprietary products including the Flexzilla® brand of air hose. Other Flexzilla® branded products like the new Flexzilla water hoses with patent pending SwivelGrip™ technology have attained great market acceptance in the vast lawn and garden and outdoor power categories, leading to robust growth for the company.

Our products must exceed the expectations of our customers because when you lead the industry with great quality products like Flexzilla®, customers learn to trust your brand and become very loyal.”

We are pleased to see this project that benefits multiple Iowa communities and supports Legacy’s aggressive growth strategy that will continue to build the Flexzilla® products into a dominant nationwide brand.”

Construction will begin immediately. The expansion is expected to create 13 new jobs over the next three years. Legacy currently has 58 employees in Marion. The Marion Economic Development Corporation (MEDCO) partnered with the Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance in preparing an application to the State of Iowa’s High Quality Jobs Program.
