This project is projected to create more than 385 new jobs.

Additionally, the company is investing $100 million to expand its operations in Jackson, Tennessee. This project involves renovating and doubling the size of the existing facility in Madison County, which is expected to create 100 new jobs. Construction in Jackson is slated for completion in approximately 20 months.
