Protomet Corporation, a manufacturing, engineering and technology corporation, plans to establish engineering and manufacturing operations in Rockwood, Tennessee. The $25 million project is expected to create 250 jobs in Roane County.

The investment will include the acquisition and retrofit of the former Albahealth building on North Gateway Avenue.

“In the last three decades, Tennessee’s pro-business climate has helped fuel our company’s growth. Today, we are excited to announce the creation of our fourth engineering and manufacturing facility in East Tennessee as we partner with the great people of Rockwood to build a bigger future together,” Protomet Corporation President Jeff Bohanan said.
