Toshiba Lebanon plant was an television manufacturing plant in Lebanon, Tennessee owned by Toshiba. The facility was closed in 2007.[1]
History
In December 1977, Toshiba selected Lebanon, Tennessee for its first US manufacturing plant to build color televisions.[2] The plant was opened in 1978 with an initial size of 148,000 square feet (13,700 m2) and 112 workers.[3]
In June 2007, Toshiba announced it would shut down its large-screen, DLP, television manufacturing plant in Lebanon, Tennessee, and will terminate 200 workers at the plant.[4] The factory ceased operating on September 21, 2007.
The plant had since transformed into a multi-tenant industrial and technology park called the Novamet Tech Center.[5]
