A commercial fan and ventilator equipment maker plans to build a new corporate campus in East Tennessee, where it expects to hire 440 workers for production, distribution and research.
The Greenheck Group, a Schofield, Wisconsin-based maker of commercial air movement, control and conditioning equipment, announced Monday it will invest $300 million in Knox County to expand its manufacturing and warehousing operations as well as build an office facility for training and research and development. The expansion will be one of the largest new manufacturing investments in Knoxville in the past decade, according to Stuart McWhorter, Tennessee’s commissioner for economic and community development.
The corporate campus will be built at the Midway Business Park in east Knox County, and the new jobs will initially pay an average of $75,300 a year, according to a report to the Knox County Industrial Development Board.
