Oakridge Global Energy Solutions Bringing 1,000 Jobs to Brevard County

Oakridge Global Energy Solutions is expanding in Brevard County, adding $270 million to the region and creating 1,000 jobs. 

“Oakridge Global Energy Solutions could have moved their headquarters anywhere in the world and I am proud to announce that they chose to remain in Florida and create 1,000 new jobs,” said Gov. Rick Scott who showcased the company’s new headquarters in Palm Bay. “Growing businesses like Oakridge Global Energy Solutions create opportunities for Floridians to provide for their families and build great careers, and that is why we will work with the Legislature to fully fund Enterprise Florida so more businesses have the opportunity to grow in Florida.”
 
Steve Barber, the CEO and executive chairman of  Oakridge Global Energy Solutions praised Florida’s leaders for promoting the state’s business climate 

“We appreciate the support of Gov. Scott, Enterprise Florida, the EDC of Florida’s Space Coast and our local partners at the city of Palm Bay as we begin this great expansion,” Barber said on Tuesday. “Oakridge Global Energy Solutions is proud to be a Florida business that offers high quality, American-made products to customers across the world, and we are excited to begin welcoming our newest team members. We’ve called the turning point of the ‘Made in USA’ onshoring movement pretty accurately –everyone loves that fact that we’re ‘Made in USA’ and bringing jobs back home to America– and a foreign player, by definition, clearly can’t compete with us on the ‘Made in USA’ deal. This project would not have been possible without the support of Enterprise Florida, and we look forward to our continued success in Brevard County.”
