Charles Carroll is the latest CEO to base his company in Williamson County, and he expects his startup to rapidly morph into one of its behemoths.
Carroll leads Integrated Biometric Technology LLC, which on July 26 announced its decision to make Franklin its headquarters. Carroll, a veteran in the field of security and electronic fingerprinting, is not shy about his ambitions.
"Give us three years, and we'll be way north of $500 million a year in gross revenue," Carroll said in an interview. While he committed to create 142 jobs in exchange for state incentives, he said that headcount "could get up to and over 1,000 within a three-year period of time."
A publicly traded company that makes an array of aluminum products for The Boeing Co. and many other companies is coming to Williamson County.
Kaiser Aluminum Corp. (Nasdaq: KALU) is relocating its headquarters from Southern California to Franklin, company and state officials announced on Thursday. The company will bring 80 jobs on that 2,000-mile journey to Middle Tennessee's suburban corporate office hub, locating its office in the McEwen Building at 1550 W. McEwen Drive.
Kaiser's arrival extends the streak of companies leaving high-cost states, particularly California, for the Nashville region. It's the kind of jobs deal cities often contest the hardest because it involves a company's top earners and decision-makers, which can have an impact on real estate, philanthropy, restaurants and schools. This happens to be Franklin's second headquarters announcement in three days.
