A metal coating and heat treatment company is set to add a new manufacturing and distribution center in Kodak, TN, a roughly $12 million expansion that will create 48 new jobs over the next five years.
To meet a growing demand for its products, Parker Trutec will construct a new 54,000-square-foot facility at the I-40 Industrial Park in Kodak. The site will specialize in surface treatment and cleaning operations for the automotive industry. The company also plans to dedicate 5,000 square feet of its new facility to warehousing and distribution.
"When a company chooses to expand operations in Tennessee," commented Bill Lee governor of Tennessee, "it’s a testament to our skilled workforce and strong business climate. I thank Parker Trutec for creating more high-quality manufacturing and logistics jobs in East Tennessee and for their continued commitment to Sevier County."
"As a local citizen working a lifetime in manufacturing," stated Phil Whaley, president of Parker Trutec MMI, Inc., "I’m truly grateful to have the opportunity to expand our operations in Sevier County. Our new facility, situated in the I-40 Industrial Park, will provide Parker Trutec with a strategic location to serve our customers throughout the southeastern U.S."
