Target Industries

For decades, major firms like Shawnee Milling, Georg Fischer, Eaton, Jindal Films, Wolverine Tube, and others have discovered the business location advantages of Shawnee. The community has reasonably priced properties, and ample utilities, and is actively seeking to grow its economic base by increasing its industrial, commercial, and retail employment base. Over 70 manufacturing companies call Shawnee and the surrounding county home, plus the community is a growing regional destination for education, healthcare, employment, retail, and entertainment options. 


Key advantages include a proven, productive labor force, low-cost power, easy access to the interstate and rail systems, along with the nation’s premier technical education program. Shawnee has an updated regional jet airport and is just minutes away from Will Rogers World Airport. The community is strategically located just 30 miles from the world’s largest military aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility, Tinker Air Logistics Center. 


Shawnee offers a skilled workforce, transportation accessibility, a business-focused environment, employee training programs, and low-cost utilities and resources. These benefits make the area a perfect fit for industries like: 


  • Manufacturing
  • Aerospace & Aviation
  • Agriculture

 

Additionally, Oklahoma is attracting growth industries through incentives like the Quality Jobs Program. The program offers cash incentives for up to 10 years for adding new jobs, subject to wage requirements and other terms. These industries include:


  • Manufacturing
  • Research and development and testing laboratories
  • Central administrative offices, corporate offices, and technical services
  • Certain warehouse/distribution operations
  • Transportation by air
  • Flight training services
  • Other support activities for air transportation (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul "MRO")
  • Wind power electric generation equipment repair & maintenance
  • A number of service industries if 50% of their sales are out of state
