Family-run business will expand Tennessee workforce by nearly 20%
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter and Nashville Wire Products officials announced today the company’s plans to establish a new manufacturing site in McEwen, Tennessee.
The facility is the company’s sixth base in the Volunteer State and will add 102 new jobs, increasing the company’s total workforce in Tennessee by 19%. In total, Nashville Wire Products plans to invest more than $20 million through the project.
Nashville Wire Products originally started in a garage as a tool and die shop. Since then, the company has expanded to include retail displays, shelving, wire baskets and other high-quality products. Three generations later, Nashville Wire Products remains a family-owned and -operated business with 10 U.S. locations and one in Mexico.
Since 2020, TNECD has supported nearly 140 economic development projects in Northern Middle Tennessee, resulting in nearly 35,000 job commitments and more than $9.9 billion in capital investments.
