Greenheck Group creating 440 jobs in Knoxville with new $300 million corporate campus

KNOXVILLE — Greenheck Group officials announced last week that the company will construct its fourth corporate campus with Knoxville as the newest location.

Greenheck Group will create 440 new jobs and invest $300 million in Knox County initially with room for future growth.

The corporate campus will include manufacturing and warehousing facilities as well as a main office and dedicated space for training and research and development.

Greenheck Group is one of Wisconsin’s largest privately owned manufacturers. The company specializes in manufacturing industrial ventilation equipment, which can be found in schools, malls, office spaces and industrial plants.

“Knoxville’s innovative spirit aligns with the values our founders, the Greenheck brothers, established more than 75 years ago,” said Greenheck Group CEO Rich Totzke. “Our investment in this new campus supports our unwavering commitment to our customers, our team members and the communities in which we are blessed to be part of. We couldn’t be more excited to become part of the vibrant Knoxville community, which provides not only strategic proximity to our customers, but also talented people, outstanding community partners and a welcoming culture.”

TNECD Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter added, “In the last year, we have had the opportunity to get to know Greenheck Group, a wonderful, 77-year-old family-owned business, which shares our values and has a company culture that will be the perfect addition to the Knoxville community. As one of the largest manufacturing projects to locate in Knox County in the last decade, we are excited to see the impact this company will have regionally for years to come.”

Greenheck Group currently employs more than 5,000 people across its operations in the U.S., Mexico and India.

“Tennessee is a pro-business state, and we invest in our workforce so that companies like Greenheck Group have a surplus of skilled workers,” said Gov. bill Lee. “I welcome Greenheck Group to Tennessee and thank this company for creating hundreds of jobs for the families across the Greater Knoxville region.”
