Latham Group Expansion: A Testament to Oklahoma's Flourishing Business Environment
At our Intellectual Property firm, we have a front-row seat to the burgeoning innovation and enterprise growth within Oklahoma's borders. Today, we are excited to spotlight a significant milestone in our state's industrial landscape. Latham Group, Inc., an international leader in the design, manufacturing, and marketing of in-ground residential swimming pools, recently announced its latest manufacturing facility in Seminole, Oklahoma.
Latham's remarkable expansion strategy has introduced a new chapter of opportunity to our state. The Seminole facility, which began production in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, follows swiftly on the heels of the grand opening of their largest North American facility in Loyalist Township, Ontario, Canada. The decision to expand their operations to Oklahoma is a testament to the strategic advantages our region offers, underscoring our value proposition to businesses both nationally and globally.
Scott Rajeski, President and CEO of Latham Group, expressed his delight at inaugurating the new Oklahoma facility. "Launching production in Oklahoma stands as a crucial leap forward in our commitment to better serving our existing dealers in the Southwest and South Central regions, and supports our ongoing initiative to increase the market adoption of fiberglass over concrete pools," he stated.
Oklahoma's Governor, Kevin Stitt, shared in this excitement. "It is heartening to witness global enterprises like the Latham Group recognize and invest in the tremendous potential of Oklahoma's robust manufacturing sector. The company's state-of-the-art operation and the opportunities it brings to our fellow Oklahomans are a source of immense pride for us," Governor Stitt commented.
Richard Parks, Director of Fiberglass Operations, South Central U.S, anticipates that the new facility will bolster Latham's ability to deliver world-class fiberglass pool products to local homeowners, simultaneously generating employment opportunities for Seminole's residents and the neighboring community. Parks also expressed gratitude towards local officials for their unwavering support.
As we watch Latham Group's success story unfold here in Oklahoma, we are reminded of the promise that our state holds for businesses across the board. As leading defenders of intellectual property in this great state, we remain committed to fostering an environment where businesses can grow and innovate with confidence.
