South Korea-based Unitech North America, a manufacturer of adhesives and sealants, plans to establish its first U.S operation in Morrison, Tennessee. The $30 million project is expected to create 75 jobs in Warren County.

The new manufacturing facility will specialize in the production of thermal adhesives and battery compression pads for electric vehicle battery manufacturers across the Southeast as well as industrial adhesives and sealers for its automotive customers.

"It is with great enthusiasm that Unitech joins the Morrison, Tennessee community. We deeply appreciate the warm welcome and the pro-business environment that Tennessee offers. Our new facility here marks a significant milestone for Unitech as we venture into the high-tech electric vehicle and automotive sectors with our specialized solutions. We are confident that this strategic expansion will not only fuel our growth but also contribute to the local economy,” Seoungho Lee, chairman, Unitech Co., Ltd. said.

Unitech North America, LLC is a subsidiary of Unitech Co., Ltd., which is headquartered in Ansan, South Korea.

“Our state’s rich history in the automotive industry paired with our pro-business climate have propelled Tennessee forward as a leader in the electric vehicle evolution. We are proud to be home to Unitech’s first U.S. facility and will continue to be a strong partner as this company locates operations in Morrison,” TNECD Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter noted.

“TVA and Caney Fork Electric Cooperative congratulate Unitech on its decision to establish operations in Warren County. Working to attract jobs and investment to the region is fundamental to TVA’s mission of service.
