Greeneville is the second oldest town in the state of Tennessee and is the hometown of such notable famous American heros as Andrew Johnson and Davy Crockett. Greeneville is surrounded by rolling hills and nestled between the Cumberland Mountains to the west and the majestic Smokey Mountains to the east that provides a panorama of color and grandeur in its four distinct seasons. The town displays perfect mixture of the old and the new with brick-lined sidewalks fronting homes dating back to the 1700s and 1800s side by side with its new state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center and U.S. District Courthouse. Greeneville City Schools consistently rank among the highest in the State and have won national acclaim.
The Greeneville Plant is centrally located in this historic town. At the very base of the Smokey Mountains lies Naturalle Spring, the source of Spring Water for the Greeneville manufacturing facility. The Greeneville location has been bottling Spring, Distilled, and Purified Drinking Water since 1995.
Currently the facility bottles company owned brands such as Natures Crystal and Glacier Clear plus many private label brands sold across the country.
The plant has three state of the art blow molding machines for self manufacturing of PET bottles. The plant has four bottling lines for filling, capping, and labeling, of gallon and 2.5 gallon jugs as well as 10oz, 0.5 liter, and 1.0 liter bottles in various convenient package sizes.
Over 100 full time people are employed at the plant contributing to the economic development and stability of Greeneville.
In October 2008 the Greeneville Plant received the SQF 2000 Certification making them the first private label bottling facility in the United States to receive such a certification. The plant has an excellent record on Safety and in 2006 achieved 1,000,000 hours worked without an OSHA lost time accident.
