Grand Opening Celebration for Foreword Companies

Join Foreword Companies for a grand opening celebration of its new manufacturing headquarters and operations facility in Gallatin, Tennessee! Guests are invited to tour the facility, enjoy refreshments, and connect with community members while celebrating this exciting milestone in Foreword’s continued growth. The event will feature remarks from Chamber and city leaders, a ribbon cutting ceremony, an opportunity to hear the company’s story and vision, and special recognition of community partners.

The new facility represents a $26.1 million investment in Sumner County and reinforces Foreword’s commitment to the community where CDF was founded in 2011. The expansion is expected to create at least 85 new jobs, bringing Foreword’s local workforce to 195 employees. This investment marks an important new chapter for the company, strengthening its operations in Gallatin while expanding its ability to serve customers nationwide.
