AirGuide Opens Clarksdale,
Mississippi, Manufacturing Plant.
A manufacturer of parts for the HVAC industry and energy efficient
lighting products, AirGuide, officially opened the company’s
manufacturing operations in Clarksdale, Mississippi. The new
$720,000 facility will create 40 full-time jobs. Last August, the
company announced consolidation of its operations in Mexico and
Houston, Tex., into the Clarksdale facility.
“From Clarksdale, AirGuide will manufacture a variety of industry
leading products for the HVAC industry and energy efficient lighting
products. In addition, AirGuide has ownership in multiple companies
that will also occupy space in this facility. American Green
Technology will produce energy-efficient induction lighting fixtures
here, and the Arcalux Health Risk Management System and Smart
Fixture, which helps save lives by removing pathogens known to cause
infections from hospitals, will also be manufactured here,” said
Doug Marty, CEO of AirGuide Manufacturing. “We are very excited to
see this project come together and we are looking forward to helping
to improve the economies in Clarksdale, Coahoma County and the State
of Mississippi.” Story

“The grand opening
today of AirGuide is great news for Clarksdale and the
Mississippi Delta as our state continues to grow its
manufacturing sector,” Gov. Phil Bryant said. “The opening of
this facility and the jobs being created here will have a
positive effect on the local community and economy for years to
come. I wish the AirGuide team many years of success in
Mississippi.”
The Mississippi Development Authority provided assistance for
improvements to the publicly-owned building AirGuide occupies,
as well as assistance to relocate equipment to the facility.
Coahoma County also provided assistance for the project.
“It is always exciting to see a project such as AirGuide come
together, and we congratulate the company and its employees on
this milestone event,” said MDA Executive Director Brent
Christensen. “MDA appreciates the team at AirGuide for selecting
the Mississippi Delta for these operations and the creation of
these new jobs. We thank our partners in Coahoma County who
worked with us to bring this project to fruition.”
