WICHITA FALLS, Texas (AP) - A Canadian company is establishing its U.S. headquarters in Wichita Falls, creating about 400 jobs.

The Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce and Industry said Friday that it has finalized an agreement with Ontario-based Natura World, which makes sustainable, earth-friendly mattresses.

The company will acquire a 478,000-square-foot factory and 100 acres of land for its U.S. corporate headquarters, manufacturing facilities and warehouse distribution operations.

Natura World President Ralph Rossdeutscher says he chose Wichita Falls because of its work force and central location.

Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tim Chase says providing incentives for Natura World helped attract the global company.
