Who’s Here
Sea Worthy
With headquarters in Adelanto, Mag Bay Yachts is a leader in the production of center console luxury boats.
The company was started in 2014 by industry veteran Mike Howarth, one of the original founders of Cabo Yachts in Adelanto, and his son, Barrett.
The company’s signature boat is its Mag Bay 33, a 33-foot center console luxury craft. A 42-foot boat is set to debut in 2019.
Mag Bay Yachts began work in 2017 on an expansion of its manufacturing facility in Adelanto.
The 50,000-square-foot is engineered specifically for boat building and assembly processes — adding efficiency and lowering costs.
Fully equipped with German-made overhead bridge cranes, the state-of-the-art facility incorporates ideas and expertise learned from construction of the original structure, where Cabo Yachts were built.
Signature Industry
Plenty of Cushion
Two manufacturers in Victor Valley are making it easier to take it easy.
United Furniture Industries came to the Southern California Logistics Center (SCLC) in 2012, where it took 500,000 square feet of space to make and ship sofas, recliners and sectionals under its Simmons brand.
The company chose the Victorville in part because of its proximity to major West Coast markets.
The SCLC also houses a manufacturing operation for Arden Cos. The company in 2016 signed a lease with developer Stirling Capital Investments for 211,000 square feet in a building Stirling developed at the SCLC.
Arden is a leading manufacturer and marketer of outdoor cushions, furniture and décor. The company relocated a facility from Rancho Cucamonga to the Victorville area to gain a larger manufacturing footprint on the West Coast and to accommodate increased future production.
