After continued growth, the Company is moving
forward with plans for a 230,000 sq. ft. addition.
TULSA,
Okla., July 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AAON is
pleased to announce a major expansion project to its facility in
Longview, TX. The groundbreaking
to begin construction on the 230,000-square-foot addition is
scheduled for Tuesday, July
18th, at 10:00 am
at 203 Gum Springs Road, Longview,
Texas, 75602.
The Longview Economic Development Corporation (LEDCO) voted to
approve support of the expansion plan in April of this year. With
continued growth and product demand, AAON is moving forward with
this $40 million capital investment
to double an earlier expansion completed in 2021. The Company plans
to increase its production capacity of current products, create
space for manufacturing new products, and expand coil production
capabilities. This brings opportunities for AAON to create
approximately 250 new full-time jobs in Longview. The new space will include three
additional loading and shipping docks, a new employee entrance and
breakroom, and more employee parking.
"AAON has been a proud member of Longview and surrounding communities for 30
years. There is a tremendous amount of growth opportunity for our
Longview location, and we couldn't
be more excited. AAON Longview's partnership with LEDCO and other
local development organizations has allowed us to capitalize on
unprecedented growth up to this point. AAON will continue to
support our local communities and team members for many years.
We're just getting started." Doug
Wichman, Vice President of AAON, Inc., and President of AAON
