On a sunny Tuesday morning in late July, TekBrands welcomed community members, business leaders and media representatives to its brand-new corporate headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. The ribbon cutting ceremony, held on July 29, 2025, marked not only a new chapter for the company but also a celebration of 35 years of innovation, creativity and deep roots in the Omaha community.
A Grand Opening That Brought the Community Together
The grand opening event on July 29 drew a vibrant crowd of supporters to TekBrands’ new headquarters at 12801 Pierce Street. Attendees included local business leaders, staff, friends and partners who have supported the company’s journey over the past three and a half decades. Guests were greeted with warm smiles, fresh coffee, and a tour of the state-of-the-art office space, designed to foster creativity and collaboration.
The highlight of the morning was the ceremonial ribbon cutting, where TekBrands personnel and local supporters gathered to officially open the new facility. The ceremony featured short speeches from company leaders who reflected on TekBrands’ evolution from a local startup to a national industry leader.
More Than Just a Building: What the New Headquarters Represents
The new headquarters is more than an architectural upgrade. It’s a physical embodiment of the company's ongoing growth, ambition and vision for the future. Spanning a spacious, modern layout, the office includes open collaboration zones, private meeting areas, product display galleries featuring gorgeous quilts created with TekBrands products and carefully designed creative workspaces.
According to Renee Thomas Jacobs, TekBrands’ CEO, the new headquarters is a space that reflects the company’s values: creativity, efficiency and a people-first mindset. “This space wasn’t designed just for our team. It was designed for our community,” she shared. “We want every employee, partner and guest who walks through our doors to feel energized, supported and inspired.”
Rooted in Omaha, Reaching the World
TekBrands’ story began in Nebraska, and the company has never lost sight of its roots. Since its founding in 1990, TekBrands has remained deeply committed to the community, creating jobs, forging partnerships and supporting local initiatives. The move to a new headquarters, while symbolic of the company’s national reach, also signals a renewed investment in the place where it all began.
With the majority of TekBrands employees based in the Omaha area and an expanding customer base that spans the globe, TekBrands continues to grow without losing its hometown heart. “We are proud to be a Nebraska company,” said Lacey Cutler, TekBrands’ Director of Brand & Customer Acquisition. “Our roots are here, our values are here, this is our home.”
