The expansion will support the company’s engineering, procurement and construction projects, as well as its project developments, allowing HZI to broaden its footprint and more than triple the number of employees at its Tennessee operations.
“HZI USA appreciates the support it has received from the State of Tennessee, Knox County and the City of Knoxville, as well as the chamber’s hard work to help us grow our North American headquarters. The combination of business climate, skilled workforce and quality of life make Knoxville a great investment for our future. HZI USA is excited to deepen Japanese ties to Tennessee and to help reaffirm the State’s worldwide leadership in clean energy,” Heath Jones, managing director, Hitachi Zosen Inova USA said.

“TNECD strives to recruit the right companies to our state because those brands are what define and shape Tennessee.
