Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bob Rolfe and HYLA, Inc. officials today announced that the company will open a new facility in La Vergne.

HYLA is a 7 year old technology company based in Dallas, Texas, USA which focuses on extending the value of renewed mobile devices. It is a privately held company backed by several well-known and widely respected private equity and venture capital firms.
