Corken expands operations again in OKC

 

Pump manufacturer Corken Inc. is expanding its Oklahoma City operations.

The firm is reported to be moving an operation from Chicago and expects to add 120 jobs over the next five years.

At least 100 of the jobs are manufacturing while 20 are engineering.

Just 18 months ago, Corken moved to a larger manufacturing plant in north Oklahoma City along I-35. At the time, the company said it had outgrown its nearly 67,000 square foot facility on NW 36th street just west of Portland Avenue.

The company manufactures industrial gas compressors and other kinds of pumps.
