Genesis Systems has opened an advanced manufacturing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The company, which manufactures WaterCube® atmospheric water generation systems, expects the project to support approximately 80 jobs and generate more than an estimated $250 million in economic impact over five years.

According to the company, the Tulsa location marks the first phase of a broader Oklahoma manufacturing expansion that builds on its existing operations in Tampa. The company said the project is expected to contribute to Oklahoma through advanced manufacturing activity, wages, procurement, infrastructure investment, and supply-chain development.
