Our existing campuses are operating at near or full capacity, and over the last 18 months our company leadership has worked toward acquiring a new facility to address our market growth while maintaining our commitment to this great community where we live,\u201d says McElroy President and CEO Chip McElroy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2005, McElroy made a long-term strategic decision that all their manufacturing facilities would remain in northeast Oklahoma, and they have not waivered on this commitment. Currently, McElroy operates with approximately 300,000 square feet of plant and office facilities covering 47 acres across three McElroy campuses, all in the Tulsa area. In the last decade, numerous product evolutions, along with product expansions, mean additional facilities are needed to support manufacturing and final assembly operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to announce McElroy expanding to Broken Arrow. They have a strong and longstanding reputation in our region for being dedicated employers and for providing innovative quality products. This is definitely a win for Broken Arrow and we are thrilled they will continue their upward trajectory in this facility. \u00a0We believe they will be incredible partners with our community,&#8221; says Jennifer Conway, president and CEO of Broken Arrow Chamber and Economic Development Corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new facility will provide an additional 193,000 square feet of space for McElroy operations, including a planned showcase assembly operation responsible for roughly 40 percent of McElroy\u2019s annual business. The extensive office space available at the new Broken Arrow Campus will allow McElroy to relocate all customer-facing departments while providing for future growth needs as well.\u00a0 Other McElroy facilities at 5124 South 100th\u00a0East Avenue and the legacy facilities at 833 North Fulton will be repurposed to support other product families in the growing product line. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBroken Arrow is a great city to do business in and we welcome McElroy. Our city continues to see growth and economic development thanks to announcements like this,\u201d says Michael Spurgeon, Broken Arrow city manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis acquisition will pave the way for our growth over the next decade,\u201d McElroy says. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting how well this industrial facility fits our needs, and we are equally proud to be increasing our investment and commitment to the greater northeastern Oklahoma region. We are passionate about this business, and care deeply about creating a great work home for the approximately 370 employees that we consider part of our extended \u2019family\u2019 and who make McElroy what it is today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>McElroy, a worldwide designer and manufacturer of thermoplastic fusion equipment, announces the addition of a fourth campus, to be housed in the recently purchased facilities occupied by Baker Hughes in Broken Arrow, Okla.\u00a0 \u201cOur 68-year-old, second-generation family business has been blessed with significant growth since our last expansions in 2005 and 2013.
