ABI Windows, a manufacturer and distributor of windows and building supplies., will establish operations in Abilene, Texas. The $42.5 million project is expected to create 175 jobs.

The company plans to lease a vacant building while it constructs a 150,000-square-foot-facility at the Five Points Business Park.

“We are excited to join and invest in the Abilene community,” said Benjamin Rawson, President of ABI Windows. “We chose Abilene for our new facility because of its ideal location, quality workforce, and the opportunity for future growth. We look forward to expanding into this great community.”

The project is being supported by a $8.48 million incentive package, approved by the Development Corporation of Abilene Board of Directors.

“This is the eighth largest project in the DCOA’s 34-Year History. It is of particular note that the project is in the DCOA’s Five Points Business Park as we continue to show the benefits of Abilene around the country and world. We have the land, space, opportunity, and expertise to grow businesses year after year in Abilene,” noted Misty Mayo, President and CEO of the Development Corporation of Abilene (DCOA).
