Vaughn Industries, a contractor providing electrical, mechanical, high voltage, technology and renewable energy services, plans to expand its operations in Carey, Ohio. The approximately $18.5 million project is expected to create 126 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new 120,000 square-foot manufacturing facility which will bring together the company’s Virtual Design and Construction and fabrication processes. Operations are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026.

“We have outgrown our current facilities and need to expand our manufacturing facilities to maintain our current business as well as the future growth of our company,” said John Barnes, business development manager at Vaughn Industries. “The open layout of the new manufacturing facility is critical to ensure efficiency and logistics in all of our fabrication processes.”

The project is being supported by a 1.531 percent, eight-year Job Creation Tax Credit approved by the Ohio Tax Credit Authority.

“Vaughn Industries is an Ohio-grown company that serves as a prime example of the consistent excellence, ingenuity and adaptability of the state’s manufacturing sector. This new manufacturing facility strengthens Vaughn’s presence in Wyandot County, bringing cutting-edge technology that will bolster its production and meet growing demand for its virtual design and construction solutions for its clients,” noted J.P. Nauseef, JobsOhio President and CEO.

Vaughn Industries specializes in manufacturing for advanced technology, machinery, and software applications. The company focuses on fabrication, virtual design, and construction.

“Vaughn Industries is a driving force in our community, consistently creating high-quality jobs, offering in-house training and apprenticeship programs, expanding its facilities, and championing local economic development efforts.
