A new storage centre and manufacturing headquarters is coming to Vernon.

A company specializing in electric golf carts has purchased a 42,000 square foot manufacturing plant in Spallumcheen.

Simolo Customs founder and CEO, Jeff Holomis said the purchase “demonstrates a long-term commitment to Canadian manufacturing at a time when global supply chains remain unpredictable.”

"As other brands look overseas, we’re doubling down on building here at home,” said Holomis.

According to a press release, the move will help the company increase production capacity, streamline operations, and introduce new services for customers.

The facility at 4127 Palisades Place in the Spallumcheen Industrial Park is expected to dramatically increase production capacity.

Holomis said the plant near Highway 97 has easy access to for inbound materials and outbound vehicle shipments, dedicated bays, high ceilings, and room for future expansion.

The facility will also open up storage space for golf carts, motorcycles, boats, or other seasonal gear starting Oct. 1. Information on storage registration can be found here.

Full-scale operations are expected to start in 2026.
