MRCOOL cuts ribbon on expanded headquarters in Graves County

MRCOOL cut the ribbon Tuesday on a 22,000 square foot expansion of their facility in Hickory.

The expansion is the culmination of a $5.35 million investment in their headquarters and distribution complex at the Hickory Industrial Park. The additional space will house corporate offices, a showroom, space for the marketing team, and call centers for technical assistance, warranty service, and customer service. Forty new jobs were created through the growth. The company is still trying to fill some of those jobs.

Doug Ingram, co-founding managing member of MRCOOL, said, "Our goal has always been to make advanced, energy-efficient comfort technology accessible to everyone. This expansion strengthens our ability to deliver on that promise while continuing to invest in our community, our workforce and the future of innovation right here in Kentucky."

Jason O. Ingram, co-founding managing member of MRCOOL added,  "From the beginning, we've believed that big ideas can come from small towns, and this milestone shows what's possible when people take pride in what they build together."

The Hickory-based company was founded in 2013 and employs 279 people.
