Crusoe Energy Systems Plans Tulsa, Oklahoma, Manufacturing Operations

08/27/2024
AI-infrastructure company Crusoe Energy Systems plans to establish manufacturing operations in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The $10 million project is expected to create 100 jobs by the end of the year.

The new facility will feature roughly 120,000 square feet and manufacture critical elements of data center infrastructure such as switchgear.

“From a Tulsa perspective, this place is absolutely perfect for us to scale up, and there are a number of reasons why that is true,” Cully Cavness, Crusoe co-founder and president. “The (Tulsa Regional) Chamber and other organizations in the community have been so welcoming to us and providing everything from introductions to various incentives to assistance in making the right connections. Those things really help. We can tell that Tulsa wants us to be here and do business here. You can’t take that for granted today.”

Crusoe is building a cost-effective, scalable, and easy-to-use cloud platform, purpose-built for compute-intensive AI and HPC workloads. The company currently operates in seven states and three countries.

“Our Tulsa’s Future team takes several national recruiting trips a year to bring companies to Tulsa,” noted Justin McLaughlin, executive vice president and COO of the Tulsa Regional Chamber. “We met Crusoe representatives on a marketing trip to Denver in 2022, and we were immediately impressed by their drive, ingenuity and vision. The jobs that Crusoe will create with this manufacturing operation will change lives, and we can’t wait to see what kind of footprint the company makes in Tulsa.”
