EZ-ACCESS® Announces its Expansion to Kentucky and Relocation of Corporate Headquarters
Auburn, Washington – EZ-ACCESS, a division of Homecare Products, Inc., is pleased to announce the addition of a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Hopkinsville, KY, a relocated corporate headquarters in Auburn, WA, and the opening of an East Coast office in Madison, TN.
The centrally located manufacturing and distribution warehouses combined offer 200,000 square feet of space, which is actively being utilized to meet the increased demand that the company has been experiencing. Over the last 9 months, the new plant has been transformed from an empty building originally used for packing tobacco, into a fully functional operation that has brought over 100 jobs to the area.
Situating all the company’s manufacturing and distribution in the great state of Kentucky provides a consolidation of resources, increased coordination, and a central hub to receive raw materials and efficiently deploy finished goods across the United States. “The partnership our new facilities in Hopkinsville will have with both our existing Morganfield, KY and Henderson, KY plants will be priceless,” says Jim Kruse, COO of EZ-ACCESS. “We will be able to implement strategies such as dedicating entire factories to specific product lines to improve efficiencies and ultimately increase our production volume.”
Don Everard, CEO and part-owner of EZ-ACCESS, weighed in on the epic feat and said, “We are very excited about this expansion and are eager about the opportunity to elevate our capabilities. Many thanks to our internal teams for their impressive collaboration and the execution of an opening and relocation of this caliber.

The opening of an office in Madison will primarily offer Operations and Sales personnel a dedicated location for everyday offices and a space to gather for strategic meetings and trainings throughout the year. David Heinz, Executive VP of Sales, comments, “I am proud to be a part of an organization that has a growth mindset and responds to the evolving changes of our economy, invests in the evolution of the company, and supports the exponential increase inopportunity that we are encountering.”
