• California-based gutter guard manufacturer to invest more than $720,000 in cross-country move

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bob Rolfe and Gutterglove, Inc. officials announced today that the company will relocate its headquarters from Roseville, California to Franklin, Tennessee.

Gutterglove, a manufacturer of professional grade stainless steel gutter guards, will invest $720,800 and create 20 new jobs in Williamson County.

The relocation follows the company’s previous $5.4 million manufacturing expansion to Rutherford County in December of 2020, which created 85 new jobs in La Vergne and positioned Gutterglove to be geographically closer to the majority of its customers.

In the last five years, TNECD has supported 30 economic development projects in Williamson County resulting in nearly 4,200 job commitments and roughly $387 million in capital investment.
