Expanded Industries

 

Businesses in Tulsa are experiencing growth, despite the current national recession. Local businesses find it to be the ideal location to expand operations due to the low cost of doing business, available workforce, good supplier network and a central U.S. location.

Recent expansions include Baker Hughes, Premier Natural Resources, Direct Energy and Limco.
