New Balance bringing 150 jobs, $68 million facility to Middle Tennessee

Leading athletic footwear and apparel brand New Balance will invest $68.5 million to build a new distribution center in Lebanon, TN.

New Balance, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, and Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD) Commissioner Stuart McWhorter made the announcement Tuesday.

New Balance’s new 350,000-square-foot automated processing facility will be located in the Speedway Industrial Park and will create more than 150 new jobs in Wilson County.

“We are excited to open our new distribution center in Lebanon, Tennessee, that will drive increased agility, capacity, and collaboration across our North American distribution network. This new state-of-the-art facility will ensure we can continue to provide world-class customer service and achieve our strategic growth goals. We greatly appreciate the tremendous support we’ve received at the local and state level and look forward to joining the Wilson County business community,” said Dave Wheeler, Chief Operating Officer for New Balance.

The facility is expected to be completed in late summer 2023.

Since 2018, TNECD has supported 15 economic development projects in Wilson County, resulting in 5,550 job commitments and $1.2 billion in capital investment.
