Select Tennessee certified site selected for the company’s first U.S. insulated panels operations
RG, a Belgian insulation group with a strong presence in Europe and the U.S. which offers smart insulation solutions that advance a carbon-free economy and a better quality of life, has selected Mount Pleasant, Tennessee, as the location for its first Insulated Panels manufacturing facility in the U.S.
It has a manufacturing network of 13 facilities in six countries across the globe.
“Tennessee is leading the nation as the best place to do business, thanks to our skilled workforce and quality of life. Recticel’s decision to open its first insulated panels facility here demonstrates the confidence international companies have in our state and will create even greater opportunity for the families across Southern Middle Tennessee.” Said Governor Bill Lee.
RG plans to create 78 new jobs and invest $49.6 million in Mount Pleasant at the Cherry Glen Industrial Park.
Once operational, the Tennessee plant will produce insulated panels for the company’s U.S. market, which will be marketed under the brand name Trimo North America.
“Launching Trimo North America marks an exciting new chapter in our global growth strategy. In Europe, demand for our insulated panels has grown dynamically, driven by their exceptional thermal performance, durability and design versatility. Our new Tennessee facility will manufacture high-quality insulated panels for a wide range of applications, including warehouses, gymnasiums, schools, industrial facilities and retail spaces. We look forward to becoming an active part of Tennessee’s dynamic and welcoming business community,” said Jan Vergote, CEO, RG.
Belgian companies have created more than 840 jobs and invested nearly $245 million in Tennessee through foreign-direct investment (FDI).
