With a price tag of $US6 million, the Pennsylvania-based company will build the facility close to its existing branch office near Cedar Bluff, according to an Associated Press report.
The existing office in Tazewell County was erected in 1994 and was expanded to its current size of 65,000 square feet in 1999, according to the company’s website. The new Jennmar office will produce corrugated metal product and roof control products.
The company currently has 10 offices in six US states as well as Australia and China.
Earlier this year, the company said it would begin making its own resin, J-LOK, for the US market. The company's Cresson bolt plant in Pennsylvania will be manufacturing the resin: the facility was designed initially to run two automated resin production lines with the capacity to add additional lines.
