Filter King opens pleated air filter manufacturing plant in Nevada
Filter King LLC has opened a new manufacturing and distribution center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company, which specializes in HVAC and furnace filters, believes the new plant will enhance Filter King’s ability to rapidly supply air filters across the Southwest and West Coast. The new facility features production, warehousing, and distribution capabilities and will employ 120 workers. The site was selected because of the area’s skilled labor force and its proximity to major air and ground shipping infrastructure.
What people are saying
In a recent quote, Filter King founder and CEO Rick Hoskins said, “We’ve established ourselves as the ‘go-to’ manufacturer of standard and custom-sized filters in the Southeast, and now we’re setting our sights on dominating the California and greater Southwest U.S. market. The timing is right, and Nevada is the ideal location to support this expansion. Our investment in plant upgrades, equipment, inventory, and process optimization is expected to create approximately 120 new jobs by 2027, with significant opportunities for future growth.”
