Building materials supplier to create 170 new jobs through East Tennessee expansion
Summertown Metals officials will expand for the first time outside of Southern Middle Tennessee, locating additional distribution and manufacturing operations in Morristown.
“We are honored by the trust our clients place in our services and products and are excited about the opportunity to serve our clients better with our new East Tennessee location! We are committed to continuing to provide exceptional value to everyone we are privileged to serve, along with providing so many new career opportunities. We also appreciate the warm welcome by the Morristown community,” said Matt Stoll, CEO, Summertown Metals
Summertown Metals will invest $22.6 million and create 170 new jobs in Hamblen County through the project. Upon completion, the company will employ nearly 600 people across its facilities in Summertown, Hohenwald and Morristown.
“Tennessee is shaped by brands like Summertown Metals that call the Volunteer State home, and as companies continue to upskill and automate, Tennesseans will be the ideal workforce to fill these new positions. I thank Summertown Metals for their continued investment in our state and look forward to the opportunity these new jobs create across East Tennessee,” said Governor Bill Lee.
Founded in 2006, Summertown Metals is a Tennessee-based company that has expanded from a single building materials supplier into a quality, custom building materials distributor. The expansion to East Tennessee will allow the company to better meet customer demand, providing additional space for metal roll forming, both wood and steel truss manufacturing and warehousing and distribution.
