Governor Haslam and Randy Boyd, Economic and Community Development Commissioner, toured the Sinomax showroom during their trip to Asia.
The trip was almost at its end, but while in town the governor took time to check out the company that has announced plans to come to La Vergne.
Sinomax set to build the plant in Rutherford County, providing the area with 350 new jobs.
The plant will make memory foam and other sleep products such as mattresses, mattress toppers and pillows.
