Eyewear Maker Expands Again at Industry City

Eyewear manufacturer M Factory is expanding its production facility at Industry City in Sunset Park, signing a lease for more than 20,000 square feet. Most recently located in 12,500-square feet within the 16-building complex, M Factory has more than tripled its square footage and added more than 50 employees since coming to Industry City in 2016.

“M Factory’s expansion is part of a growing trend at Industry City,” said Andrew Kimball, CEO of Industry City. “Companies start with a small space and expand within the complex as they grow their business. We’re one of the only places in New York City able to provide tenants with this kind of flexibility. For startups and small businesses, that flexibility is a huge amenity.”

In addition to the space expansion, the company continues to grow its workforce and is currently hiring for five to 10 new positions.
