Tulsa-based AAON has expanded into Memphis, holding a ribbon-cutting today for what is now its fifth manufacturing facility.
AAON, founded in 1988, has become one of the world’s top commercial HVAC and cooling system manufacturers.
It has the original plant here in Tulsa, as well as facilities in Longview, Texas; Redmond, Oregon; Parkville, Missouri; and now, Memphis.
The company will now employ around 5,000 people across all its facilities.
AAON makes a wide variety of equipment, but the Memphis plant will be concentrated on making cooling and air-handling systems for data centers, which of course is a major growth market.
