Miller Industries is investing $20 million into its Ooltewah tow-truck manufacturing plant that will help increase its wrecker production capability.

Included in the investment is a state-of-the-art 30,000-square-foot paint facility with equipment including high-tech temperature and moisture controls and an environmentally friendly dual-side down-draft air filtration and collection system, according to the company.

"Being the world leader in towing and recovery equipment is not an overnight accomplishment," said Todd Higdon, general manager at Miller's Ooltewah facility, in a statement.

Miller offers a variety of products from auto-load units with 8,000-pound capacities to rotators with 75-ton capacities. The products fall under the Miller Industries Century, Vulcan, Chevron, and Holmes brands.
