“It’s great to see companies already in Tennessee continuing to invest in our communities,” said Governor Bill Lee. “I frequently say the state with the greatest workforce will be the state that wins the future, and this expansion helps us accomplish that. Howmet Aerospace is creating an additional 50 high-quality jobs for the families across this region, and I look forward to their continued success in Morristown.”

Since 2020, Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD) has supported more than 50 economic development projects in East Tennessee, resulting in nearly 10,000 job commitments and more than $3.1 billion in capital investments.

“East Tennessee has a rich background in the aerospace and defense industry, making Morristown the ideal location to support another expansion for Howmet Aerospace,” commented TNECD Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter. “This company employs 900 people regionally, and it’s not lost on us that these new jobs and this investment could have gone to any one of the company’s global locations. I’m grateful to Howmet Aerospace leadership for recognizing our outstanding business climate, and I wish them the best of luck moving forward.”
