Donald J. Pliner of Florida has pledged to establish an office and warehouse distribution operation in Miami-Dade County.
The company designs women's and men's shoes, handbags, leatherwear and accessories. It already has two retail locations in the county.
The Beacon Council, Miami-Dade's official economic development partnership, said Donald J. Pliner will hire up to 30 full-time employees and occupy more than 55,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in northwest Miami-Dade County within the next three years.
Donald J. Pliner employs more than 150 workers nationwide and has close to 700 customers.
But the company has a significant tie to Miami-Dade: Owner Donald J. Pliner and his wife, Lisa, are county residents. They are involved in local philanthropic efforts including the Miami City Ballet and the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts.
Frank R. Nero, Beacon Council president and chief executive officer, said Donald J. Pliner's decision to relocate some of its operations to Miami-Dade underscores the county's strength as a distribution hub and highlights the continued emergence of the fashion industry in the county.
Donald J. Pliner CEO Roxanne Ehrenberg said Miami-Dade offered the company everything it needed from a location-distribution infrastructure, access to key markets and a highly skilled workforce.
"By consolidating our operations from other areas into this one centralized and efficient distribution facility, we hope to more than double our sales in the coming years," she added.
The Beacon Council said it helped Donald J. Pliner with state and local incentives, research and marketing analysis, business contacts and referrals and employee relocation.
The agency said the company first met with Beacon Council representatives during a business development trip to New York City.
