AAON Inc. plans to create 125 new jobs over five years and build a new facility in Longview as part of a $28 million capital investment expansion.
The premium HVAC equipment manufacturer wants to relocate the manufacturing of its SA Series self-contained unit product from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to its Longview facility on Gum Springs Road, where 422,000 square feet of manufacturing space will be added within the next three years.
AAON Marketing Manager Eric Taylor said the Longview facility already produces a smaller self-contained unit, but the SA Series is a larger product that will have its own dedicated assembly line.
Pay range for the jobs will be $15 to $18 an hour, Taylor said.
