Project includes $78 million investment across Sumner and Robertson counties
Create Energy is launching a major expansion, creating a total of 1,003 new jobs and investing more than $78 million across Sumner and Robertson Counties.
“I’ve been in Tennessee for over 30 years, and this place isn’t just where I work and build businesses, it’s home. I’m proud of what we’re cranking out here at Create Energy: real growth, real jobs and the newest, coolest energy products the world wants. We have a wave of major initiatives underway, and with our active presence in the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market, there’s much more on the horizon. We’re moving fast, and we’re here to shake things up with solutions that are truly best in class. Come check out the new facility, it’s pretty darn awesome,” said Dean Solon, founder and CEO, Create Energy.
Central to this expansion, the company has acquired a 338,000-square-foot facility in Orlinda that will become its primary manufacturing hub, significantly scaling its production capabilities to meet growing demand for their products and solutions.
Create Energy will create 973 new jobs and invest more than $76 million in its new Robertson County location.
“Today’s announcement underscores what world-class companies like Create Energy already know – Tennessee is the best place to live, work and raise a family. I’m grateful for Create Energy’s investment in our highly skilled workforce and proud to announce their expansion that will create greater opportunity for more than 1,000 Tennessee families,” said Gov. Bill Lee.
Create Energy’s existing Portland facility in Sumner County will become the company’s welcome center, dedicated research and development (R&D) hub and a production site for global partnership products, strengthening its role as a leading innovator and manufacture in the energy sector.
The company will create 30 new jobs and invest approximately $2 million at this location. Upon completion of the two projects, Create Energy’s total footprint in Middle Tennessee will exceed 475,000 square feet.
“With this expansion, the company is entering a new phase of scale, dramatically increasing its operational capacity to meet surging demand and support the global push for dependable electrical energy solutions,” according to a release.
