Summertown Metals, LLC announced last month that the company will invest $11 million to expand its manufacturing and distribution operations in Lewis County, Tennessee, according to the state Department of Economic and Community Development.

Summertown is expected to expand by constructing a new facility in the Lewis County Industrial Park, which will house its headquarters and additional manufacturing and distribution operations, the department said. The company is expected to create 197 new jobs in the city of Hohenwald.  

Construction is anticipated to be complete in the first quarter of 2023.  

“As owners of Summertown Metals, we are excited about our expansion to Hohenwald and are very grateful for the support of this community and the State of Tennessee in bringing this project to fruition,” said Matt Stoll and Derek Stoll, co-owners of Summertown Metals. “We count it as a privilege to be able to provide so many well-paying jobs to the people of Hohenwald and Lewis County, and our ability to manufacture more of our own products allows us to service our customers faster while providing high-quality, affordable building products and services to our customers in Tennessee and surrounding states.”
