Colgate-Palmolive announced that it will build a new manufacturing plant to make oral care products in Morristown, TN.
The company will invest $25 million in manufacturing equipment and building and infrastructure improvements, and create 75 new jobs in Hamblen County.
Colgate-Palmolive plans to build a standalone facility adjacent to its current Colgate Total toothpaste plant. Construction on the new facility, which will include production of products sold to dental professionals through the company's Colgate Oral Pharmaceuticals business, will begin this year with occupancy slated for early 2015 and full employment by late 2015.
