The new location will employ more than 800 people, marks Milwaukee’s eighth location in Mississippi, and is the company’s largest manufacturing facility in the United States to date.
In addition to opening a new headquarters in January, High 5 Plumbing, Heating & Cooling launched its new HVAC division in April, a direct result of the company’s explosive growth over the years.
The new building will house all plumbing and electrical classrooms and labs, while the existing building will expand its HVAC and Commercial Refrigeration lab space.
This expansion adds 23,000 square feet to the existing 37,000 square feet and incorporates new manufacturing, R&D and office space for the company's growing divisions, resulting in 60,000 square feet total.
Victaulic will construct a 150,000-square-foot addition to its Lawrenceville foundry to accommodate new molding lines, melt furnaces, core machines, and automated finishing and paint equipment to help produce larger scale products.
