New Balance Athletics, the athletic footwear and apparel manufacturer, will establish a new distribution center in Lebanon, Tennessee. The $68.5 million project is expected to create 150 jobs in Wilson County.

Located in the Speedway Industrial Park, the automated processing facility will be approximately 350,000-square-feet and is planned for completion in summer 2023.

This new state-of-the-art facility will ensure we can continue to provide world-class customer service and achieve our strategic growth goals. We greatly appreciate the tremendous support we’ve received at the local and state level and look forward to joining the Wilson County business community,” Dave Wheeler, chief operating officer, New Balance noted.

The DC will support a portion of the company’s digital commerce business for footwear, apparel and accessories as well as service its wholesale and retail operations for its apparel business.

I appreciate New Balance for its decision to invest $68.5 million and create over 150 new jobs in Lebanon.
