Hapco Breaks Ground on New Oklahoma City Manufacturing Facility

270,000-Square-Foot Facility Will Expand U.S. Production of Aluminum Lighting Poles

Oklahoma City, OK — Hapco this week broke ground on a new 270,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Oklahoma City, marking a significant expansion of the company's U.S. manufacturing footprint and reinforcing its long-term commitment to American manufacturing.

The new facility will expand production capacity for aluminum lighting poles serving commercial, industrial, transportation, municipal, utility, and OEM markets throughout North America. The project is expected to create more than 80 new jobs and strengthen Hapco's ability to support growing customer demand across the Central and Western United States.

Hapco Expands to Oklahoma City

"As we celebrate 75 years of American manufacturing excellence, this investment marks an important milestone in Hapco's continued growth," said Tom Hardy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hapco. "Oklahoma City's skilled workforce, strategic location, and business-friendly environment make it an ideal place to expand our manufacturing capabilities and better serve customers across North America."

Expanding Hapco's U.S. Manufacturing Network

The Oklahoma City facility will complement Hapco's headquarters and flagship manufacturing operations in Abingdon, Virginia, increasing domestic production capacity while enhancing logistics efficiency, operational flexibility, and service to customers across the Central and Western United States.

"This investment reflects our confidence in American manufacturing and the infrastructure markets we serve," said Chris Dyson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dyson-Kissner-Moran Corporation, Hapco's parent company. "Expanding Hapco's manufacturing network positions the company for continued success while strengthening our ability to support customers nationwide."

Celebrating the Start of Construction

Hapco company leaders were joined at the groundbreaking by Oklahoma state and local officials, economic development partners, customers, construction partners, and members of the business community to commemorate the start of the project.

The event represented both the beginning of construction in Oklahoma City and the next chapter in Hapco's 75-year manufacturing history.

Investing for the Future

Once operational, the facility will provide Hapco with additional resources to respond to changing market requirements, support customers across a wider geographic area, and continue pursuing growth opportunities throughout the lighting and infrastructure industries.

At the same time, Hapco will continue to invest in and operate from its longtime home in Abingdon, Virginia. Together, the Virginia and Oklahoma operations will provide the company with a stronger manufacturing platform designed to support customers nationwide.

Construction of the Oklahoma City facility is underway, with operations expected to begin in late 2027.

For Hapco, the groundbreaking is an investment not only in additional manufacturing capacity, but in the company's next 75 years of American manufacturing.
