Goodman Company, L.P. officials recently completed the addition of three new assembly lines at the company’s Fayetteville plant, which has created 800 new jobs in the area.
“Goodman is proud to provide new jobs to Tennessee, Fayetteville and Lincoln County. Our employees, most of whom reside in Lincoln County, are the reason for our continued success and growth,” said Bill Miller, vice president of operations for Goodman.
Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Goodman is the second largest unit manufacturer of residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning products in the United States. It has four modern, high technology factories, totaling over 1,200,000 square-feet in Houston, Texas, and Dayton and Fayetteville, Tenn.
The Fayetteville plant was built in 1968 by Raytheon, parent company of the Amana Brand. Goodman purchased Amana in 1996, and later sold off all of Amana appliances, keeping the Fayetteville plant to manufacture residential heating and air conditioning products. Under Goodman management, the plant has seen unprecedented growth in employment and output. The company invested $6 million in its Fayetteville plant’s three assembly line expansions.
