When the new facilities are completed in late fall, Garrett Metal Detectors will occupy approximately

100,000 square feet in two Garland locations. In addition to its current headquarters

and plant at 1881 W. State Street, Garrett also has a secondary manufacturing facility at the

company’s former headquarters at 2814 National Drive, also in Garland.

“This plant expansion is necessary because of the continuing development of our company with

demand for both hobby and security products continuing to increase,” said Mr. Charles Garrett.

“With the newly expanded facilities we will be able to satisfy requirements of our customers more

efficiently as well as continue to develop new and more innovative metal detector products.”

Mr. Garrett stated that construction would include complete refurbishing of headquarters offices

at the State Street locations as well as the enlargement of production and warehouse facilities.

“New equipment will be added that will significantly increase our manufacturing efficiency, and

we will increase the capacity of our shipping and warehouse operations,” he stated.

office buildings and other facilities over the world. The company’s hobby detectors are widely used in the search for coins

and other valuables on beaches, in parks and elsewhere.

The enlarged facilities there will include a formal conference/training

center to meet the steadily growing demands of The Garrett Academy,

which offers training in the use of metal detection equipment.

“The company’s current museum of relics and other objects found with

metal detectors will be more than doubled in size,” Mr. Garrett noted.

“We believe the enlarged area will permit us to display a wider selection

of artifacts that demonstrate the abilities of Garrett metal detectors.

We hope that these new exhibits will inspire both veteran and novice treasure hunters.” Expansion plans call for including in the new

company museum the actual workbench where Mr. Garrett created the first Garrett detector in the garage of the family’s Garland

residence.

Garrett manufactures a complete line of detectors designed to locate buried treasure, ranging from simple models for beginning hobbyists

to complex instruments used by professional treasure hunters, both on land and under water. These Garrett detectors offer

numerous exclusive innovations, including the ability to determine the size of a target before it is uncovered.
