Keepbrite Refrigeration Expands Kilgore, Texas, Operations
05/16/2024
The 470,000 square-foot facility, which will eventually be expanded to more than 1-million-square-feet, will be located on Synergy Park's Alliance Way.
"Founded in 2008 in Longview with just 18 employees, Keeprite Refrigeration, Inc. has grown dramatically over the years," said Frank Xu, Executive Vice President of Keepbrite Refrigeration. "Today, we boast a dedicated team of nearly 200 professionals. Our collaboration with Keeprite Refrigeration in Canada has positioned us at the forefront of the commercial refrigeration industry in North America. The new facility will serve as a beacon for technical innovation and is expected to further enhance our product offerings and customer service. It represents our confidence in the future and our commitment to investing in our people and communities."
The City of Kilgore and Kilgore College initially awarded abatement incentives to Tersco Property Management / Keeprite Refrigeration. Additionally, Gregg County offered rebate-based tax incentives.
"They want their employees in the spotlight," noted Kilgore EDC Executive Director Lisa Denton. "I think that speaks volumes about their company culture. This particular, small piece of Synergy Park is more of a green space, with topography issues and other challenging elements that would make traditional development difficult, but it happens to be perfect for the employee-and-family use Keeprite Refrigeration has in mind.”
