Geiger Brothers Expands Jackson, Ohio, Manufacturing Operations

06/02/2024
Construction service provider Geiger Brothers, Inc., plans to expand its operations in Jackson, Ohio. The more than $500,000 project is expected to create 20 jobs.

The investment will include improvements to the company’s fabrication facility and the purchase of new machinery and equipment to support increased production and future expansion. The location currently provides piping, structural steel, and miscellaneous metals.

“We’re thrilled to continue investing in the community that’s invested so much in us,” said Erik Massie, President and Chief Financial Officer at Geiger Brothers. “This expansion project will not only create new jobs but also help us open up new efficiencies and compete for larger, more complex projects in the region. Our economic development partners at the local, regional, and state levels have been a tremendous help in bringing this project to life, and we couldn’t be more appreciative of their support.”

The project is being supported by an $80,000 JobsOhio Grant for building improvements and machinery.

“Geiger Brothers is a longstanding Ohio company providing innovative construction and engineering solutions to customers for over a century,” noted JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef. “Through the investment and expansion of its fabrication division, Geiger Brothers will add 20 new jobs, reinforcing Ohio’s reputation as a powerhouse of manufacturing resiliency and talent.”

Additionally, Jackson County Economic Development Partnership provided further backing with a $225,000 low-interest loan through the CDBG ED RLF program.

“We congratulate Geiger Brothers on this expansion in Jackson and are pleased that OhioSE is able to support growth for one of the key sectors in our region,” added OhioSE vice president, Katy Farber.

Geiger Brothers, Inc. performs specialized engineering and manufacturing to support niche industries including nuclear, food, energy, and infrastructure.

“We are tremendously proud that Geiger Brothers calls Jackson County home. Our workers have benefited from their growth over the years,” said Jackson County Economic Development Partnership President and CEO Sam Brady. “This newest investment will allow them to expand into a brand new growth sector that will create brand new high-wage jobs right here in Jackson County.”
