Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Deputy Gov. and Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter and Medacta International officials announced today that Medacta will expand its footprint in Tennessee by relocating its U.S. headquarters and expanding its manufacturing operations to Maury County.
To further amplify the company’s growth, Medacta will relocate and expand its U.S. headquarters from Franklin, Tennessee, to Spring Hill. Additionally, Medacta is co-locating what will become its U.S. manufacturing hub in Spring Hill. The major expansion will be carried out in several stages and is designed to strengthen the company’s global supply chain for medical devices as well as operational footprint.
Upon completion, the new development site on Jim Warren Road, near the intersection of I-65 and Saturn Parkway, is expected to create more than 200 new jobs across manufacturing, corporate operations and other supporting roles and represents an investment of $85 million.
Medacta, a Swiss-listed company, was founded in Castel San Pietro, Switzerland, and is a global key player specializing in the design, production and distribution of innovative, personalized and sustainable solutions for joint replacement, sports medicine and spine surgery.
Switzerland is one of Tennessee’s top partners for foreign direct investment (FDI) with more than 40 Swiss companies across the state that account for more than 4,000 jobs and $1.2 billion in capital investment.
