Permobil Expansion

Headquartered in Sweden, Permobil produces custom power and manual wheelchairs and other products that aide individuals across the world with innovative solutions.

Permobil, which opened its doors in Middle Tennessee in 2000, added a $15 million, 70,000 square-foot expansion, which will assist in creating 70 new jobs over the next five years.

“Permobil’s decision to expand its Tennessee manufacturing operations is a testament to our strong business climate, highly skilled workforce and quality of life. I thank Permobil for its investment in Wilson County and look forward to the company’s continued success.” – Gov. Bill Lee

J&S Construction was selected because of our experience in these types of critical timeline projects, to collaborate with Permobil to design and construct a state-of-the-art, sleek addition that seamlessly ties into the company’s existing operations. A few of the addition’s modern features include an HVAC system that maintains a 72 degree temperature throughout the manufacturing space, skylights to increase the natural sunlight, and high bay lights tied into a photocell system that dim and brighten lighting as needed. All of these and many other features were designed into the building to assist the client in recruiting a world-class team in its manufacturing division.

“It’s always a high honor when a company like Permobil, one that could work with literally any contractor in the world, chooses J&S Construction. It’s a testament to the professionalism and craftsmanship of our team,” said Jack Stites, CEO, J&S Construction. “They bring an expectation of excellence that our team is known for and that continually calls us to be our best.”
