Nashville Box, a corrugated box manufacturer, will invest $3.3 million to establish new operations in Lebanon, Tennessee. The project is expected to create 48 jobs in Wilson County.

According to state officials, Nashville Box will be utilizing an integrated business and manufacturing approach to service businesses with high volume corrugated packaging needs at both a regional and national level.

“The Nashville Box team is thrilled to put roots down in the Nashville area in Lebanon. Like most B2B manufacturing companies we thrive on the health of our given business environment. The healthy, fast-growing business climate that Governor Lee and Commissioner Rolfe are creating in Tennessee is a driver for Nashville Box to immediately thrive. This provides a secure and exciting start for our 48 plus team members and their families,” Scott Lawrence, president and CEO, Nashville Box said.

In recent years, the growth of e-commerce and the Tennessee economy have taken corrugated packaging demand to a generational high, in turn, creating a surplus in demand, state officials explained. By locating operations just outside of Nashville in Lebanon, Nashville Box will have a strategic advantage to service both Tennessee’s business growth and many major markets within a day’s drive of Nashville.

“With companies investing more than $12 billion in our state since 2016, the manufacturing industry is essential to Tennessee. We are proud to partner with Nashville Box as the company locates its first manufacturing operations in Lebanon, which will serve as a driving force behind one of our largest sectors,” TNECD Commissioner Bob Rolfe said.
