The company’s new headquarters will be located at 105 Continental Place in Brentwood. The new location will support the company’s business growth and allow it to hire additional employees, according to a press release by the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD).
Steamboat Transportation Group’s relocation and expansion project is expected to create 61 new jobs in Williamson County, bringing the total number of Tennesseans employed by the company to nearly 100, according to TNECD.
“As a proud Tennessee company, we are excited to continue expanding our business in Middle Tennessee in the coming years and are extremely grateful for the show of support from TVA and the State of Tennessee,” Jake Geismar, founding partner and CEO of Steamboat Transportation Group said in a statement. “I would like to thank our existing team members, who represent our brand with the utmost integrity day in and day out, and acknowledge the leadership they have provided to help Steamboat achieve the success it already has.”
Geismar added, “With a very talented candidate pool, many of which are currently enrolled in colleges and universities across this great state, our recruiting efforts are ramping up. The future is bright for the State of Tennessee, and we are excited to be a part of it. We will continue to push this Steamboat, Full Steam Ahead.”
Both Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and TNECD Commissioner Stuart McWhorter attributed Steamboat Transportation Group’s continued investment in Tennessee to the state’s “strong business climate and highly-skilled workforce.”
