RK Industries Expands Aurora, Colorado, Headquarters Operations

09/17/2025
RK Industries, a company specializing in construction, manufacturing, advanced fabrication, and building services solutions, plans to expand its operations in Aurora, Colorado. The project is expected to create 1,700 jobs in Adams County over the next eight years.

The company’s new 154,488-square-foot facility will house its headquarters and four of its eight businesses.

"Relocating our headquarters to Aurora isn’t just about expanding our footprint in Colorado, it’s about expanding opportunity. We’re projecting to create over 1,700 good-paying jobs over the next eight years, investing heavily in workforce training, and strengthening the communities where our employees live and work,” said Jon Kinning, Chief Operating Officer of RK Industries.

The project is being supported by a Job Growth Incentive Tax Credit approved by the Economic Development Commission. The incentives are contingent upon RK Industries meeting net new job creation and salary requirements.

“Colorado's well-connected advanced manufacturing sector is a key driver of our economy, and RK Industries' expansion in Aurora will significantly strengthen these industries while creating valuable jobs in this advanced manufacturing and skilled trade sector,” noted OEDIT Executive Director Eve Lieberman.

The Aurora Economic Development Council, in partnership with OEDIT, the City of Aurora and Adams County, worked closely with RK Industries on the project.

“The Aurora Economic Development Council supported RK Industries through every step of the process of selecting a new headquarters location,” added Wendy Mitchell, President and CEO of the Aurora Economic Development Council. “This relocation and expansion reflects how we were able to match RK Industries’ business needs with Aurora’s strengths and assets.”

RK operates eight businesses—RK Industries, RK Mechanical, RK Steel, RK Electrical, RK Mission Critical, RK Energy, RK Water, and RK Service—that provide construction, manufacturing, advanced fabrication, and building services solutions throughout the Mountain West and deliver fabricated products to customers nationally and internationally.
