Product Line Relocation to Bring 96 High-Tech Jobs to Lewisburg

Teledyne Electronics Manufacturing Services of Lewisburg, TN announced today that it will be the recipient of a new product line from one of its sister facilities in California that will bring new business growth and employee growth to the company.

Teledyne EMS of Lewisburg has been a leader in electronics manufacturing for the defense and aerospace industries for more than 30 years. When the opportunity came to compete with other sister facilities for a new Micro-electronics product line out of California, officials at the Lewisburg facility began working with Lewisburg and State of Tennessee Economic Development officials to help them demonstrate why moving the operations to Middle Tennessee was the right choice.

“The State of Tennessee made a very good presence at the meetings and provided a lot of background on what the state can bring to the project,” said Shane Green, VP and GM of Teledyne EMS of Lewisburg.

Working with the state and regional economic development partners, the City of Lewisburg put together incentive and relocation packages to help bring not only the new expansion and jobs, but people from the California facility.

“We wanted to show that it made good business sense to relocate the product line in Lewisburg and that Lewisburg and the entire Middle Tennessee region provide a great location for some of its highly-skilled workforce to relocate as well,” said Greg Lowe, Lewisburg Director of Economic Development.

The new product line involves micro-electronics manufacturing that has been in operation on the West Coast for the past 50 years. This high-tech manufacturing operation demands a highly-skilled workforce of engineers and those with the ability to obtain and retain security clearances from the Department of Defense. Training of existing workers and new hires will be essential to the success of the project, as well as recruiting of other highly-skilled employees from the west coast.

“The exciting part about it is that it contains a whole range of new technologies that we don’t currently perform here,” said Green. “This will allow us to provide a broader range of products and services to the customer base. We feel like this is going to be a strong competitive position for us and enable growth of the business over time.”

The expansion will create 60-70 new jobs at the Lewisburg facility around the middle of next year and is projected to create 96 new jobs total over the next five years. The positions will be all high-tech manufacturing positions from engineers and support services to operators, technicians, and production.

“To our knowledge, we will be unique in the area with hybrid manufacturing, chip and wire technology, and chip integration technology,” said Green.

The expansion announcement marks the second of welcomed news to the City of Lewisburg following a groundbreaking on November 26 of a new manufacturing operation scheduled to begin operations late next year. Imperial Foods Services will begin construction of a new facility in the Lewisburg I-65 Commerce Park soon with scheduled completion to be sometime around the second or third quarter of 2013. This project is expected to bring 50 new jobs to Lewisburg.

The Teledyne expansion will require the relocation or purchase of new equipment over the next several months and may involve the construction of an additional 25,000 sq. ft. to its existing facility in the Lewisburg Industrial Park. The company hopes to begin hiring for the expansion project by the summer of 2013.

COLUMBIA, Tenn.—Maury Regional Medical Center (MRMC) will begin a new support group for cancer patients on January 21. Coping with Cancer will meet on Mondays from 4-5:00 p.m. for a period of six weeks at the MRMC Cancer Center at Columbia Mall in the Cancer Resource Center. 

The mission of the group is to support those who are diagnosed with cancer and to provide them with an opportunity to share their frustrations, fears and feelings. 

“Our hope is to create an encouraging environment so that patients will feel supported and better able to cope with the difficulties associated with a diagnosis of cancer,” said Emily McKnight, the counselor who will facilitate the meetings. “To respect the confidentiality of members and to provide a more intimate setting, we are limiting the group to no more than 10 individuals.” 

McKnight, a life-long resident of Maury County, has a master’s degree in counseling and human development from Vanderbilt University. Her experience includes counseling in the areas of grief, caregiver support and divorce. 

To register for the support group, call 931.490.7192.

 

Statement from Senator Jim Tracy regarding the announcement that Imperial Food Services will locate a manufacturing plant in Lewisburg 

(NASHVILLE, TN), December 13, 2012 — “This is great news for Lewisburg,” said Senator Jim Tracy who is Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee.  “We welcome these new jobs and investment in our community.  We will continue to work to ensure that Tennessee’s infrastructure is inviting to businesses to bring new and better opportunities for our citizens.” 

NASHVILLE –Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty joined with company officials today to announce Imperial Food Services (IFS) will locate a manufacturing plant in Marshall County.

The company broke ground on the new manufacturing facility Monday, Nov. 26 during a ceremony with state, regional and local officials. IFS will construct a new 60,000 square foot at I-65 Commerce Park. The decision to locate in Lewisburg was made as the company looks for new ways to reach into more commercial markets. 

 “We have been working aggressively with state economic development officials to market our assets as a great location for manufacturing,” said Lewisburg Director of Economic Development Greg Lowe. “We could not be happier to work with our new partners at Imperial Food to bring jobs and capital investment to Lewisburg and the state of Tennessee.” 

IFS, an American Indian food manufacturer and retailer, is headquartered in South Elgin, Ill., along with its sister company, Red Cloud Food Services. IFS produces and distributes cooked meats, sliced deli meats, gourmet sandwiches and healthy hand-held baked products, in addition to an assortment of energy drinks. 

Construction on the new facility is scheduled for the winter and the facility anticipates opening in summer 2013.
