Nashville Wire Products plans to establish a new manufacturing site in McEwen, Tennessee. The facility is the company’s sixth base in the Volunteer State and will add 102 new jobs, increasing the company’s total workforce in Tennessee by 19%. In total, Nashville Wire Products plans to invest more than $20 million through the project.
“Nashville Wire Products is excited to announce the continued expansion of its partnership with the City of McEwen and Humphreys County,” said Steven Rollins, CEO of Nashville Wire Products. “McEwen is a great place to be and our growth there will help us to meet the continuing needs of our customers. Our company and the community have a long history of collaboration, and we are looking forward to embracing the opportunities that lie ahead.”
“I’m proud to announce the expansion of Nashville Wire Products in Humphreys County. Tennessee is the best place to live and build a business, and I look forward to many more years of success for Nashville Wire Products as they continue to invest in the Volunteer State,” said Governor Bill Lee.
Nashville Wire Products originally started in a garage as a tool and die shop. Since then, the company has expanded to include retail displays, shelving, wire baskets and other high-quality products. Three generations later, Nashville Wire Products remains a family-owned and -operated business with 10 U.S. locations and one in Mexico.
Since 2020, the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD) has supported nearly 140 economic development projects in Northern Middle Tennessee, resulting in nearly 35,000 job commitments and more than $9.9 billion in capital investments.
“Manufacturing is a critical component of what we do in Tennessee. Nashville Wire Products has been a successful, family-owned business in our state for nearly a century, and I’m excited to see what the future has in store for them,” said TNECD Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter.
