Miller Industries, a leading manufacturer of tow trucks and recovery equipment, is preparing a site adjacent to its Ooltewah headquarters for a $100 million new facility.
Crews will perform site work for the 200,000-square-foot production plant through July and begin construction in late summer, according to a company presentation to investors in May. The plant is in a final engineering phase, and the “vast majority” of the expansion will be funded through operating cash flow, the company said.
The new facility will support the company’s future growth, demand in the European market and military contract commitments. Miller Industries shared details on the three reasons for the expansion when it announced the plant earlier this year:
— The company expects production volumes to rise significantly in 2026, and the new plant will expand its capacity. The plant will have a particular focus on heavy-duty recovery vehicles, the largest global export for Miller Industries.
— Production at the plant will provide support as a “critical backbone” for three brands made by Miller and sold in European markets: Boniface in England, Jige in France and Omars in Italy.
