Blount County is the largest manufacturing hub in East Tennessee. More than 100 manufacturing facilities operate across the county, anchored by DENSO with 4,500 employees in Maryville, Arconic’s aluminum operations in Alcoa, Cirrus Aircraft at McGhee Tyson, and Clayton Homes, the Berkshire Hathaway-owned modular home builder headquartered in Maryville. That concentration of industrial, aerospace, and automotive manufacturing makes Blount County one of the densest commercial fleet markets in the region. AZ Rag is a 3M Certified Installation Company in Knoxville, 20 miles north, and we handle commercial vehicle wraps and fleet graphics for businesses across the county.
Who We Work With in Blount County
Automotive and aerospace supply chain contractors. DENSO, Arconic, and Cirrus Aircraft are surrounded by a supply chain of vendors, maintenance contractors, and specialty service companies. These operations run fleets of vehicles to manufacturing sites, delivery routes, and field service calls across Blount County and into the Knoxville metro. Professional fleet graphics on those vehicles signal that the company behind them operates at a level that matches its clients.
Construction and trade contractors. Blount County’s active growth along the E. Lamar Alexander Parkway corridor and in the residential areas surrounding Maryville and Alcoa keeps construction and trade contractors fully scheduled. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general contractors running multi-truck operations throughout the county are a consistent part of the commercial fleet work we do in this market.
Healthcare and professional services. Blount Memorial Hospital is one of the county’s major employers, and the broader healthcare and professional services sector runs administrative and service vehicles throughout the area. Consistent fleet identification across hospital support vehicles and professional service fleets is part of what we install for Blount County clients.
Personal vehicle and enthusiast owners. Blount County’s growing residential base and proximity to the Smoky Mountains drive a strong personal vehicle wrap market alongside commercial fleet work. Color change wraps and paint protection film are available at the same certified install standard.
