John H. Carter Co./ControlWorx LLC is preparing to build a $69 million, 285,000-square-foot facility in Gonzales, backed by a suite of state incentives aimed at job creation and economic growth, reports The Center Square.
Construction is set to begin in March, with commercial operations projected to launch in early 2027. The new facility will serve as a center for assembling, servicing and distributing flow control products to key industries across the Gulf Coast, including oil and gas, refining, chemical, power, renewable energy, and pulp and paper production.
