Greenheck Group, a leading manufacturer of commercial air movement, control and conditioning equipment, announced plans today to acquire the former Macy’s distribution facility in north Tulsa County.
The 1.3 million-square-foot building represents nearly a $300 million investment that will result in more than 700 new jobs over the next five years, more than doubling the Wisconsin-based company’s manufacturing footprint in Oklahoma.
“Every time a customer chooses Greenheck Group, they are placing their trust in our team, and we are grateful for that trust,” said Rich Totzke, CEO of Greenheck Group. “That trust makes investments like this possible, and we take seriously our responsibility to be ready to serve customers today and well into the future. This expansion builds on the incredible work our Tulsa team has already done and helps make Greenheck Group stronger so we can support the growth of our business partners and create more opportunities for team members wherever they work.”
The Macy’s Fulfillment Center near Owasso opened in 2015 and ceased operations in March of this year, citing a corporate strategy to modernize supply chains and streamline operations.
“Greenheck Group’s continued investment in the Tulsa region speaks volumes about the strength of our region as a place for manufacturing and long-term business growth,” said Mike Neal, president and CEO of the Tulsa Regional Chamber. “The company made Tulsa a promise in 2017, and it exceeded it exponentially. This next chapter demonstrates Greenheck’s confidence in our region’s workforce, business environment and ability to accommodate the manufacturer’s growth as it continues to serve its customers.”
Located less than 15 minutes from Greenheck Group’s existing Tulsa location, the new Owasso building sits on 72 acres and will provide significant manufacturing and office space to support the company’s continued growth. Greenheck Group expects to finalize initial building improvements by the spring of 2027, with production beginning shortly thereafter.
Greenheck Group first announced plans to build a Tulsa campus in 2017 at Apache and 129th East Avenue. The company’s original location has since grown to eight buildings, 850,000 square feet of manufacturing space and more than 900 workers.
“Less than a year after this facility lost hundreds of jobs, Greenheck Group is making a major investment and bringing hundreds of new manufacturing careers to our region,” Tulsa County Commissioner Stan Sallee said. “Greenheck Group’s investment says a lot about the strength of Oklahoma’s workforce, our economy and our ability to compete.”
"I am proud to have been a part of the process of bringing more Greenheck Group jobs to Oklahoma,” Gov. Kevin Stitt said. “I met with the Greenheck Group team in my office, and we were able to work out the terms of the deal. We will have more details coming out at our joint press conference on September 18.”
