On September 5, 2024, Governor Glenn Youngkin announced that KSB USA/North America, a leading supplier of pumps and industrial valves, will invest $25 million to expand its Henrico County facility to add loading dock office space and update its shipping and receiving area and common areas for employees. The expansion will more than double the facility’s current square footage and create 32 new jobs.

“KSB’s decision to expand its Henrico County facility highlights the competitive advantage that Virginia offers international companies seeking growth in U.S. markets,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick. “KSB is a prime example of what foreign companies can accomplish in Virginia thanks to our strategic location, proximity to The Port of Virginia, and talented workforce.” 

“This state-of-the-art site, featuring an expanded warehouse, workshop, and sustainable infrastructure, is an investment in our future as a market leader. We remain focused on developing and aligning our resources to exceed our clients’ needs and expectations,” said Regional Executive Officer of KSB North America Luis Maturana.
