Ergon Refining Expands Vicksburg, Mississippi, Refinery Operations

03/26/2025
Ergon Refining, a specialty naphthenic product manufacturer, plans to expand its operations in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The $400 million project is expected to create 20 jobs.

The investment will include facility upgrades at the company’s existing refinery that will increase processing capabilities to include gasoline production. The expansion is scheduled for completion by 2027.

“Today, there aren’t many places you’d go around the world that have not been impacted in some way by the specialty solutions produced at our Vicksburg refinery,” said Ergon President & CEO Kris Patrick. “I’m incredibly proud of the work our employees do to continue our legacy of quality products and services that make a positive global impact. As we move forward, we’re proud to collaborate with local and state partners, investing in the economic success of the place we call home.”

To support the project the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) is providing assistance for road improvements.

“The ‘Mississippi Momentum’ our state has been experiencing continues well into 2025, with this latest substantial win from Ergon injecting $400 million into the state’s economy and creating 20 good-paying new opportunities for the people of Vicksburg. For more than 70 years, Ergon has been a Mississippi success story, and with a business environment that sparks innovation and encourages companies to grow here, there’s zero reason companies should look elsewhere. Ergon’s latest expansion signifies the strength of our state’s economy and the fact that we truly are a top state for business,” noted Mississippi Development Authority Executive Director Bill Cork.

Ergon Refining produces hydrotreated naphthenic base oils, electric insulating oils, asphalt, and diesel fuel. The company currently has operations in Mississippi, Arkansas, and West Virginia.
