Snap-on has announced plans to expand its manufacturing operations in Elizabethton, Tennessee. The company, which produces tools and equipment, will invest $44 million into the project, creating 50 new jobs for the surrounding area. The expansion will add 49,000 square feet of manufacturing space to the existing facility.

In a recent quote, Jon Carley, Elizabethton plant manager, Snap-on, said, “The Tennessee Economic and Community Development grant program supports the efforts of companies such as Snap-on, continuing to build on our presence as a U.S manufacturer and as an employer here in Elizabethton, in Carter County and in the state of Tennessee for 50 years. We value our hard-working associates in this facility as well as the community’s endorsement and on-going support.”
