Anatolia Cabinet and Millwork open first Tennessee manufacturing facility in Baxter
Since 2020, TNECD has supported more than 34 economic development projects, 3,000 job commitments and nearly $1 billion in capital investment in the Upper Cumberland region.
Putnam County is getting 56 new jobs and a $9.6 million investment with the announcement of one of the biggest cabinet manufacturers in the world selecting Tennessee for its newest manufacturing site.
Anatolia Cabinet and Millwork will be establishing their first and only factory with an artificial intelligence (AI)-integrated production system, ensuring the highest-quality standard is met.
“Four years ago, I decided to pursue a new investment – a fully automated, AI-driven cabinet and millwork manufacturing facility in the City of Baxter. We believe this project will bring meaningful economic and technological benefits to Baxter and the surrounding communities,” said the owner, Temel Islamogu. “We are proud and excited to open this facility in Putnam County and look forward to becoming an active partner in the community’s continued growth and innovation.”
In part, the company also chose to locate in Tennessee due to the state’s reputation for advanced manufacturing.
“When companies choose Tennessee, it’s a clear vote of confidence in our business-friendly climate and talented workforce,” said Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter.
