Hummer Considering Moving to Nashville

The Tennessean reported this week, that “Nashville is on Hummer’s HQ List”.

Famed SUV producer, Hummer, is considering relocating its headquarters to Nashville, confirmed on Monday by Jim Taylor, the CEO of Hummer.

Hummer is a division of General Motors that has been sold to a Chinese manufacturing unit, the Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Co. The deal is expected to close before the year’s end, and the relocation would be implemented around that time as well.

Because the brand has been sold from GM, there will be both new corporate offices and a new culture. In selecting a new headquarter location, the following criteria must be met:

1) US location
2) Access to supporting engineering operations
3) A good quality of life for workers
4) Possible economic incentives from the state.

The new facility will employ over 100 workers in the areas of marketing, strategy, sales, advertising, merchandising and licensing. Nashville is a major contender, as Nissan relocated its U.S. headquarters to Franklin in 2008….
