VMI Inc., a local company that makes dredges, is relocating to Cushing, where it hopes to expand operations, Cushing Chamber of Commerce officials said Wednesday.
Jim Mason, chamber executive director, said VMI would build a 20,000-square-foot plant on five acres donated by the Cushing Industrial Foundation, valued at $30,000. He estimated the construction project's value at between $300,000 and $350,000.
VMI, begun in 1972, employs about 12 people and has exported dredges to seven countries, Mason said.
Dredges, which cost about $330,000, are used by communities to clean out sewage lagoons and to clean up hazardous waste and spills. They are also used to clean contaminated ponds to accommodate wildlife, Mason said.VMI president Gene Maitlen grew up in the Cushing area and owns a family farm there, Mason said. His sons, Tony and Randy, are vice presidents at VMI.
"Because of the Clean Water Act passed by Congress, they expect to see tremendous expansion in this area, and will add more employees," Mason said.
