Jackson, Ohio – Geiger Brothers, Inc., in collaboration with JobsOhio, Ohio Southeast Economic Development (OhioSE), and the Jackson County Economic Development Partnership, has announced a significant investment of over $500,000 to expand its operations in Jackson, Ohio. This expansion is expected to create 20 new high-wage jobs in the region.
Established in 1909, Geiger Brothers, Inc. specializes in engineering and manufacturing services for niche industries such as nuclear, food, energy, and infrastructure. The company’s cutting-edge fabrication facility in Jackson, Ohio, is renowned for providing high-quality piping, structural steel, and miscellaneous metals for complex projects.

Through this investment and expansion of its fabrication division, Geiger Brothers will add 20 new jobs, reinforcing Ohio’s position as a hub of manufacturing resilience and talent.”
Driven by increased industry demand, Geiger Brothers is expanding its fabrication division to enhance its competitiveness in modular construction projects.

Geiger Brothers takes pride in its Southeast Ohio roots, with its headquarters located in Jackson, OH. This strategic location serves as the hub of the company’s operations, overseeing two additional facilities in Ohio and Tennessee.

Local officials have also expressed their support for Geiger Brothers’ expansion.

The collaborative efforts of our economic development partners underscore the attractiveness of Ohio and Jackson County as business destinations.”

The expansion project has garnered widespread acclaim and is seen as a significant boost to the region’s economic growth and prosperity.
