Buffalo River Truss will expand to a new location in Lobelville, Tennessee. The $1.4 million project is expected to create 40 new jobs in Perry County.

The company will relocate and consolidate its manufacturing and distribution operations from two buildings to one larger facility in Lobelville. The new facility will have the capacity to add new equipment, which will allow for more onsite processing and custom manufacturing for the metal buildings industry.

“We feel blessed and excited to continue serving our community with new employment opportunities in Perry County. This expansion will allow us to add product lines, develop better career opportunities and strengthen community relationships. We are grateful to all the people that have helped make this possible and specifically want to thank Governor Bill Lee, TNECD, our General Assembly members, Senator Joey Hensley and Representative Kirk Haston, Perry County Mayor John Carrol, Lobelville Mayor Robbie Moore and everyone else that had input in the process and worked with our team at Buffalo River Truss,” said Monroe Miller, owner and manager, Buffalo River Truss.

Since 2014, Buffalo River Truss has been manufacturing gable trusses, shed trusses and bar joists.

“When a company like Buffalo River Truss chooses to expand in Tennessee, it is not only a testament to our state’s skilled workforce and business-friendly climate, but also the community that the company calls home. We are proud to serve as the headquarters for this Tennessee brand and look forward to seeing the company’s continued success in the years to come,” said TNECD Commissioner Bob Rolfe.
