Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Deputy Governor and Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD) Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter and Carlex Glass America executives announced today the company will expand its advanced manufacturing operations in Nashville.
The more-than $55 million project will create 143 high-skill jobs and equip the Davidson County campus with next generation production lines. Scheduled for completion in mid-2026, the expansion will enable Carlex to fabricate larger precision-formed automotive glass using the most technologically advanced equipment available – the only end-to-end process of its kind in North America.
“This year marks nearly seven decades of our company serving as an anchor for the broader Nashville economy, and we are thrilled to further strengthen our roots here via this investment.” CEO of Carlex, Ramzi Hermiz, said. “We have an amazing team in Nashville, and together, they have made our facility the ‘best-in-class’ glass manufacturer for the world’s leading automakers. We will continue to deliver for our customers and our community in the months and years to come.”
A cornerstone of Tennessee manufacturing since 1958, Carlex’s investment in new technology and equipment signifies its commitment to the community, its customers and U.S. manufacturing. The business serves original equipment manufacturer customers across the automotive sector, providing products ranging from windshields, panoramic roofs, sidelights and backlights.
