Stairway Ventures is proud to share that portfolio company Kogler has acquired a foam and pillow manufacturing facility in Tennessee, marking a major step in its strategy to bring manufacturing back to the United States.
Kogler has long been recognized as a leader in mattresses for the trucking industry, trusted by fleets, distributors, repair shops, and owner-operators across the country. This acquisition strengthens that position by improving cost structures, stabilizing supply chains, and ensuring the company maintains its edge in quality and reliability.
Beyond trucking, the facility opens the door for Kogler to expand into new categories, including recreational vehicles, outdoor furniture, pillows, and home mattresses. By broadening its product portfolio, the company is positioning itself to meet demand across multiple consumer and commercial markets while building a stronger e-commerce presence, and direct-to-consumer channels.
This move is more than an expansion of capacity, it represents a commitment to vertical integration, resilience, and long-term industry leadership. By combining its established foundation in trucking mattresses with a diversified growth strategy, Kogler is creating the infrastructure and scale required to endure and thrive in the years ahead.
At Stairway Ventures, we believe this acquisition is another example of how our portfolio companies are not only competing but reshaping the markets they serve. Kogler is building a future defined by innovation, operational strength, and sustainable growth—values that align deeply with our vision as an investment platform.
