Innovative Ceramic Facility Opens in Tennessee, Combining Local Clay and Cutting-Edge Technology

Tennessee Clay, a new line of ceramic containers from U.S. floral and home & garden supplier Syndicate Sales, brings ceramic production to American soil in McKenzie.

Tennessee Clay, a newly launched line of premium ceramic containers, is proud to call Tennessee home-and even prouder to bring large-scale ceramic manufacturing to American soil. Produced in a highly automated facility in McKenzie, Tennessee Clay is the only operation of its kind in the U.S. manufacturing ceramic pots at scale.

While many ceramics are imported, Tennessee Clay offers something different: modern, design-forward planters crafted with locally sourced clay and fired in a high-tech facility that's unlike anything else in the country. The result is a product that blends innovation, craftsmanship, and regional pride-bringing jobs, design inspiration, and a renewed sense of possibility to the Tennessee manufacturing landscape.

“This facility represents more than just production. It's creating steady jobs and real opportunity right here in McKenzie,” says Henk van Woerden, Managing Director, Syndicate Sales. “We're proud to be part of something that's building a future right here in Tennessee.”

The initial launch includes five distinct collections. From clean-lined silhouettes to softly textured finishes, the line balances timeless form with contemporary appeal.

“We believe people care about where products come from, and Tennessee Clay offers a story retailers and consumers can appreciate,” says Kristin Richards, Vice President of Marketing at Syndicate Sales. “This facility is unique and reflects our commitment to U.S. innovation and supporting local communities.”
