Kaiser Aluminum has announced that it will relocate its corporate headquarters from Foothill Ranch, California, to Franklin, Tennessee. The relocation will involve approximately $3 million investment and create 80 jobs.
“Companies around the world see the benefits of doing business in Tennessee, and we are proud to welcome Kaiser Aluminum to the growing list of companies relocating from California to Tennessee,” Gov. Bill Lee said. “Kaiser will be an excellent addition to the economic landscape in Williamson County, and I thank the company for this new investment and job creation in Tennessee.”

Kaiser Aluminum manufactures semi-fabricated specialty aluminium products for aerospace and high-strength packaging, general engineering, custom automotive and other industrial applications. The company operates 14 production facilities across North America. The plants produce complex flat-rolled (plate, sheet and coil), extruded (rod, bar, hollows and shapes), drawn (rod, bar, pipe, tube and wire) and certain cast aluminium products.
“Kaiser Aluminum has been a long-term employer in Tennessee through our Tennalum facility in Jackson and more recently with our new sales office in Knoxville,” Kaiser Aluminum President and CEO Keith A. Harvey said.
“We look forward to expanding our presence in Tennessee as we relocate and transition our corporate headquarters to Franklin. Williamson County provides the benefit of a corporate friendly business environment and access to a highly talented workforce that fits well with Kaiser Aluminum’s corporate value of being a preferred employer and a great place to work. We thank the economic and community development team for their commitment and support.”
