NASHVILLE— Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Randy Boyd along with Bradford Company officials announced today the company will invest $5.1 million over the next five years to expand operations at its Gallatin Facility. The reusable packaging manufacturer will create 25 jobs in Sumner County.
“I want to thank Bradford Company for choosing to expand its operations in Gallatin,” Boyd said. “Over 300,000 Tennesseans are employed in manufacturing and it is exciting to have a company like Bradford strengthening the Team Tennessee workforce by creating these valuable jobs for our state.”
