Great Brands Deserve the Great State of Tennessee

It’s no accident that some of the biggest and most respected brands in the world have chosen to call Tennessee home. Companies who come to Tennessee are not just looking for a place to do business—they’re looking for a home. That’s why Tennessee makes the world’s best whiskeys, Duracell batteries, GE refrigerators and La-Z-Boy recliners. It’s why Tennessee is home to the largest ice cream plant in the world.

The reputation of the State for the quality of the work and the lifestyle brought companies such as Nissan, General Motors and Volkswagen, Bridgestone, Hankook and Denso Manufacturing, Beretta USA and Whirlpool.

Companies, investors, shareholders and executives choose Tennessee for its sound fiscal management and significant new investments in its economic ecosystem.

Reasons to select Tennessee’s business-friendly environment:

• No personal income tax on wages and salaries.
• A right-to-work state.
• A long history of fiscal responsibility that crosses party lines.
• Lowest state debt per capita in the country, per The Tax Foundation.
• Second lowest in the U.S. for state and local tax taxes paid per capita, per The Tax Foundation.
• Triple A rate by all major rating services.
• Successful overhaul of our tort and workers compensation laws.
