Located in Smyrna, TN, and adjacent to the Ideal Tridon Group headquarters, the Wesanco TN Strut Plant occupies 52,000 square feet. The facility began taking shape in November 2023, with the team swiftly initiating the installation of strut mill equipment and laying the groundwork for its operational capabilities. On January 31, 2024, the plant celebrated the production of its very first piece of strut, marking a significant milestone in its journey. 

Today, the plant is capable of producing all 9 strut profiles, and all slotting configurations. Additional secondary operations include robotic resistance welding for all welded channel configurations as well as a secondary punch press operation. 

With a mill that can operate at an impressive 200 feet per minute, the plant's productivity is unparalleled. Currently in its first phase of operation, the facility commenced first shift operations in February 2024, with ambitious plans for future expansion.
