Company to locate on Select Tennessee Certified Site
Japanese manufacturer T.RAD is expanding to Tennessee with Clarksville as the company’s first location in the state.
“Tennessee is a leader in advanced manufacturing, and the creation of more than 900 jobs will strengthen this sector while creating new opportunities for families in Montgomery County. I’m proud to welcome T.RAD to Tennessee and look forward to their success in Clarksville,” said Governor Bill Lee.
As part of the project, T.RAD will create 928 new jobs and invest $90.2 million in Montgomery County as the company constructs a new facility at the Clarksville-Montgomery County Corporate Business Park South, a Select Tennessee Certified Site. Upon completion, the additional investment and staffing will support increased production and expand the company’s customer base across the Southeast.
“T.RAD’s expansion into Tennessee represents a strategic investment in the future of our North American operations. The Clarksville facility will enhance our manufacturing capabilities, strengthen our supply-chain performance and position us to meet growing customer demand with greater speed and reliability. This milestone reinforces our long-term commitment to operational excellence across the region,” according to Taroh Miller, president, T.RAD North America, Inc.
T.RAD North America, headquartered in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, is a subsidiary of Japanese manufacturer T.RAD. The company was founded in 1936 as a radiator manufacturer in Kawasaki, Japan and today, has grown into a global corporation, operating across four continents.
Japan is Tennessee’s top partner for foreign direct investment (FDI) with more than 200 Japanese companies across the state that account for more than 57,000 jobs and $20 billion in capital investment.
