Campbell Scientific opens newly expanded $40M Utah manufacturing site

Campbell Scientific has inaugurated the opening of its new manufacturing factory in Logan, Utah. According to the company, the new site will turn $40 million in investments over the next 10 years and create 268 new jobs.

The company, which makes scientific measurement instruments for the environment and infrastructure, has had its headquarters in Logan, Utah since it was founded about 50 years ago. The new building is 82,000 square feet and located north of the company’s existing headquarters.

According to a release issued in April, Campbell received a temporary marginal tax reduction for placing the expansion in rural Utah. In exchange, Campbell agreed to the $40 million and 268 new job figures.

“We have seen strong growth in our business over the last few years,” said Rob Campbell, president & CEO of Campbell Scientific. “Having been in business for almost five decades, we’re excited to continue our growth story here at our headquarters in Logan. The community in and around Logan has been an important part of our success, and we’re thrilled that we can continue to play a role in fostering a healthy and vibrant technology community here in Cache Valley.”

“We're delighted that Campbell Scientific has chosen to expand its Utah headquarters,” said Dan Hemmert, the Office of Economic Opportunity's executive director. “Campbell not only offers superior measurement products with a variety of applications, but it also has a legacy of supporting its employees and the local community."
