V&S Schuler Tubular Products, a leading manufacturer of steel components for the utility and infrastructure sectors, is expanding its operations in Muskogee with a significant $22 million capital investment. The company will construct a new, modern manufacturing facility while creating a number of new positions over the next five years.
The company, which has operated in Muskogee since 1995, will relocate its existing operations to the Port Muskogee John T. Griffin Industrial Park. The new facility will allow V&S Schuler to modernize operations and increase production capacity. Additionally, the expansion will retain all of the more than 70 positions and support additional skilled positions in welding, fabrication, and other trades.
“We appreciate the support from the City of Muskogee, Port Muskogee, and the State of Oklahoma as we continue building for the future,” said Dirk Sliwinski, President of V&S Schuler. “This expansion allows us to strengthen our operations, better serve our customers, and continue investing in Muskogee.”
The $22 million private investment is supported by the City of Muskogee’s Economic Development Opportunity Fund with a $100,000 investment to support the retention of the existing workforce and new operations. This local investment reflects the City’s commitment to keeping jobs local, supporting existing employers, and strengthening the community’s economic future.
“When existing employers continue to reinvest here, it strengthens our workforce and creates additional opportunities for our residents,” said Kimbra Scott, Executive Director of Port Muskogee. “V&S Schuler has been part of this community for decades, and this expansion reflects both their commitment to Muskogee and the strength of our local industrial base. We are proud to support a project that keeps jobs here and positions V&S Schuler for continued success.”
V&S Schuler’s expansion is the latest in a series of private investments in Muskogee, as Port Muskogee works alongside state and local partners to support employers and drive long-term economic strength across the region.
