The Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce Wei Chuan USA, Inc. will be creating 317 new jobs by establishing a world-class manufacturing and distribution facility in Murfreesboro. Based in California since 1972, Wei Chuan is a leading manufacturer, import/exporter and distributor of Asian foods. The company has one manufacturing facility in California, a pilot/test facility in Tennessee and six distribution centers in New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The Murfreesboro expansion will include purchasing an existing facility in Murfreesboro and relocating the Spring Roll shell line from the pilot/test facility. The initial capital investment is over $19 million and the company will employ 317 new employees, including 20 salaried employees.
Murfreesboro Mayor Tommy Bragg commented “We are happy to welcome Wei Chuan to our community. The City of Murfreesboro has deep roots in food manufacturing and we welcome the addition of over 300 new jobs to the area.”
“This is a positive win for the community,” stated Rutherford County Mayor Ernest Burgess. “We are creating jobs and continuing to market the community to other prospective companies.”
The company is not prepared to answer any additional questions at this time and plans to release a more inclusive press release in the future including information on career opportunities.
