ChillCo Expands St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, Operations

11/11/2025
ChillCo Inc., a provider of commercial and industrial cooling solutions, plans to expand its operations in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. The $4.37 million project is expected to create 38 jobs.

The investment will include additional manufacturing and warehouse space at the company’s existing headquarters to support its growing equipment rental and maintenance services.

“ChillCo, Inc. has been headquartered in St Tammany Parish for almost our entire existence,” ChillCo CEO Frank Myers said. “The foundations and key members of our company have raised families here. As we expanded our operations to Baton Rouge and ultimately to the entire Gulf South, we felt it was important to stay within the communities we helped build. We are very excited to showcase our new building on our Lacombe property that will help us warehouse our rental fleet, but we are also very excited to unveil our new facility in Baton Rouge.”

To support the project the state of Louisiana offered ChillCo an incentives package that includes the comprehensive workforce development solutions of LED FastStart and $250,000 from the Economic Development Award Program for infrastructure improvements. The company is also expected to participate in Louisiana’s Quality Jobs program.

“ChillCo’s expansion is a strong example of how homegrown Louisiana companies are driving economic growth through reinvestment,” Louisiana Economic Development (LED) Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois noted. “For nearly three decades, ChillCo has built on its expertise while keeping its headquarters and workforce rooted in St. Tammany Parish. The project reflects LED’s focus on supporting existing businesses, creating new jobs and expanding opportunities for Louisiana’s people.”

ChillCo provides cooling solutions to commercial facilities with central chilled water plants and industrial plants with process refrigeration systems. The company’s services include field service and repairs, rental equipment, preventive maintenance, equipment installation, equipment remanufacturing, customer training and consulting services.

“ChillCo’s expansion in St. Tammany Parish is a powerful example of how legacy Louisiana companies are driving the future of our regional economy,” Greater New Orleans, Inc. President and CEO Michael Hecht added. “By growing high-wage jobs and investing in industrial innovation, ChillCo is strengthening not only the Northshore, but the entire region. GNO, Inc. is proud to support this employee-owned company as it deepens its roots in Louisiana and powers forward, notably, with zero chill.”

“We are thrilled to support ChillCo, Inc. as they expand their operations in St. Tammany, bringing new investment and job opportunities to our community,” St. Tammany Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Russell Richardson said. “Their commitment underscores the strength of our local business ecosystem and talented workforce, reinforcing why St. Tammany Parish is the ideal place for innovative companies to thrive. We look forward to their continued success and contributions to our community and economic landscape.”
