Miller Industries Expands Manufacturing Center in Ooltewah, Tennessee

11/08/2018
A company that manufactures high quality towing and recovery equipment, Miller Industries, Inc. has made a significant investment to expand its operations in Ooltewah, Tennessee. The project will result in the creation of approximately 175 jobs over a five-year period.

“We are very pleased with our new facility improvements and are proud of the impact it has on our community,” said Jeff Badgley, Co-CEO of Miller Industries, Inc. “With these additions, our Ooltewah, Tennessee facility now contains approximately 331,000 square feet of world class manufacturing and administrative space.”

Founded in 1990, Miller Industries employs approximately 750 between its two Tennessee locations in Ooltewah and Greeneville. The company also operates facilities in Pennsylvania, the United Kingdom and France. As part of the Ooltewah expansion, Miller Industries has hired new manufacturing and administrative personnel.

“I’m delighted to see Miller Industries expand and create about 175 jobs in Ooltewah and Hamilton County,” Governor Bill Haslam said. “This expansion underscores the progress we’ve made to ensure Tennessee is a place where businesses invest, grow and create jobs. Companies like Miller Industries recognize that our state’s business-friendly environment makes it easy to add jobs, and such companies are a major reason why Tennessee will lead in the creation of high quality jobs.”

“As an international business, Miller Industries could invest and create jobs anywhere in the world,” Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bob Rolfe said. “I’d like to thank Miller Industries for making this significant investment in its hometown of Ooltewah. Miller Industries already employs hundreds of Tennesseans, and we look forward to the long-term benefits 175 additional jobs will have on the residents of Hamilton County and its surrounding communities.”

"We consider Miller Industries one of our legacy companies that continue to play a key part in Hamilton County's economic development," Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger said. "Nothing is more gratifying than to see one of our homegrown companies expand. We appreciate the multi-million dollar investment and 175 jobs that will come with this investment."
