Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and Economic and Community Development Commissioner Randy Boyd along with American Standard Brands officials announced today the company will establish a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Davidson County. American Standard Brands, a leading North American manufacturer of stylish, high-performance bathroom and kitchen fixtures and fittings, will invest $22 million and create approximately 600 new jobs in La Vergne. This is the first new U.S.-based manufacturing facility for American Standard Brands in more than 25 years.

“We want to thank American Standard Brands for choosing to expand in Tennessee and for its investment in La Vergne and Davidson County,” Haslam said. “World renowned brands call Tennessee home and are growing in our business-friendly environment. We look forward to American Standard’s continued success, as today’s announcement brings us one step closer to our goal of becoming the No. 1 location in the Southeast for high quality jobs.”

This new facility in Davidson County will allow American Standard Brands to expand its operational footprint and increase efficiency through enhanced supply chain connectivity.

“We are pleased to expand our U.S. manufacturing base to increase efficiencies for our customers through an enhanced supply chain," Steve Delarge, chief executive officer and chief financial officer of American Standard Brands, said. "The quality workforce and favorable business environment in Davidson County made a compelling business case for us to select Middle Tennessee for our new operation."
