Taiwan-Based Acumen Plans Sumner County, Tennessee, Production Operations

11/12/2026
Taiwan-based oral care products manufacturer Acumen plans to establish operations in Sumner County, Tennessee. The $20.2 million project is expected to create 50 jobs.

The company’s new 90,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, located at 241 ABC Boulevard, to produce toothbrushes and oral care products for domestic and international markets. Production is scheduled to begin in 2027.

“As Acumen celebrates its 50th anniversary, choosing Sumner County for our first U.S. manufacturing facility marks a defining milestone in our history. Our goal is to make our Tennessee plant the world’s largest and most important manufacturing center for toothbrushes and oral care products. This $20.2 million investment reflects our long-term commitment to the U.S. market — bringing high-quality, affordable, American-made toothbrushes and oral care products to American consumers, while serving markets across North, Central and South America from Tennessee,” said Acumen Chairman David Huang.

Acumen specializes in the design and manufacturing of toothbrushes and oral care products for international consumer brands.

“Today’s announcement proves that foreign direct investment, and the emphasis we put on our international recruiting trips, play a crucial role in the success we have experienced in attracting companies across the globe. I’m grateful that Acumen recognizes our efforts to make Tennessee the best place to do business, and we look forward to supporting them well into the future,” noted Tennessee Deputy Governor and Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD).
