The project brings together JMP’s Greensboro headquarters and distribution and light manufacturing operations into a single facility.
HVAC, plumbing and industrial equipment distributor and manufacturers’ representative James M. Pleasants Company (JMP) will consolidate its operations in Greensboro, NC, into a new facility.
The project will bring together the company’s headquarters and distribution and light manufacturing operations in Greensboro into a single facility.
“JMP has been growing in North Carolina for more than 65 years and we are very excited to continue our growth in this state,” JMP Vice President of Operations Chuck Moore said in a June 18 news release.
JMP — which operates in locations across the southeast — serves as a manufacturers’ representative for commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, as well as plumbing equipment and accessories. The company also manufactures commercial pump skids, devices that manage fluid transfer, circulation and control.
State Investment
JMP received a performance-based grant of $35,000 from the One North Carolina Fund to help facilitate JMP’s expansion, based on the company’s investment and the creation of 19 jobs over three years. The company has said it will invest $30 million in Guilford County and create 40 jobs over five years, including in sales, operations and manufacturing.
The OneNC Fund provides financial assistance to local governments to help attract economic investment and to create jobs. Companies receive no money upfront and must meet job creation and capital investment targets to qualify for payment. All OneNC grants require a matching grant from local governments and any award is contingent upon that condition being met.
Partnering with the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina on this project were the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Community College System, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the Commerce Department’s Division of Workforce Solutions, the City of Greensboro, Guilford County, and the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce.
