Del Conca USA, a porcelain tile manufacturer, will invest $30 million to expand its manufacturing facility in Loudon, Tennessee. The company plans to create 40 jobs.

A subsidiary of Del Conca Group, Del Conca USA is one of the most modern production plants of porcelain stoneware in the world and specializes in porcelain tile production.

With this expansion, Del Conca will install two new productions lines in order to better serve the North American market. This expansion will also be dedicated to the production of large formats and tiles of increased thickness, according to Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.

“Approximately 1,300 Tennesseans are employed in the ceramic tile manufacturing sector, and this number is growing thanks to companies like Del Conca,” Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Randy Boyd said. “I want to thank Del Conca for choosing to expand in Loudon and for strengthening the Team Tennessee workforce by creating these valuable jobs for our state.”
