In Oklahoma, CaptiveAire has invested $30 million to expand its Muskogee plant by adding a new facility adjacent to its existing plant. The project will add up to 80 new jobs to the company’s current local workforce of 220 employees.
North Carolina-based CaptiveAire opened its plant in Muskogee in 1997 with 240,000 square feet of manufacturing and 10,000 square feet of office space. The facility serves customers in South Central U.S. The expansion, which opened on October 24, provides the commercial kitchen ventilation systems and HVAC equipment manufacturer with an additional 130,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space.
“We are thrilled to expand our Muskogee manufacturing facility,” said Bob Luddy, CaptiveAire President. “This growth will allow us to serve the needs of our customers in the South Central region with shorter lead times and faster replacement timelines. We have long appreciated the warm welcome of the Muskogee community and we look forward to continuing to serve its residents and provide employment opportunities.”
