Tile maker building second Dickson plant

A little more than two years after opening a ceramic tile factory in Dickson, Mohawk Industries plans to break ground this summer on a second plant there and will hire 245 jobs to go with the more than 300 people it already employs.

Executives with Georgia-based Mohawk on Wednesday said in a release their second Dal-Tile factory is expected to begin operations in late 2018. The release did not disclosed the estimated cost of the facility.
