Wedlake Industries, a manufacturer of custom PVC compounds, plans to expand its manufacturing operations in Hohenwald, Tennessee. The $10 million project is expected to create 46 jobs in Lewis County.

“We are excited about our investment in Wedlake Industries. The company’s great people, facilities, and strategic location will allow us to support the music industry in Tennessee and beyond with the industry’s most advanced and customer-focused vinyl pressing operation. In addition, Wedlake Industries’ customers in other industries will benefit from our expanded and modernized facilities,” Shawn Johnson, president, GZ North America said.

Wedlake Industries supports customers in varied industries such as record pressing, vinyl flooring, roofing, pipe making and more with full mixing, extrusion and laboratory facilities.

“With the recent expansions of Nashville Record Pressing and Memphis Record Pressing, Wedlake Industries is primely located between the two facilities to directly support record production. We are proud that this expansion will expand GZ Media’s presence in Tennessee and look forward to seeing the growth that follows today’s announcement,” TNECD Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter noted.
