PVB Fabrications Inc. plans five-year expansion project to construct its new corporate headquarters in Marana, Arizona.

The company has purchased 10 acres and plans to build a 15,000-square-foot administration building and three 30,000-square-foot production facilities. The $17 million project will bring 169 additional jobs in finance, operations, project managing, engineering and business development to Marana. The first phase of the project is scheduled to be completed by December 2020. The estimated economic return is around $48 million.

Several local organizations are partners in the project, including the Arizona Commerce Authority, Town of Marana, Pima Community College and Small Business Developement Center, PICOR, Randel Jacob Design Group, Steward Title, Eric Nadler, Esq. and Arizona First Properties.

“We are thrilled to welcome PVB to north Marana," said Town of Marana Mayor Ed Honea. "Their employees' diverse skills enable them to cross multiple disciplines and sectors that include quality welding and metal fabrications to electrical and instrumentation services. PVB's projects span the entire southwest, we’re excited to have another quality business in the town and look forward to seeing them grow.”

PVB provides welding and fabrication services in the commercial, government, utilities and heavy industrial and mining sectors. Since 2003, the company has provided various services, including civil and concrete, structural steel, piping and mechanical, storage tanks, and electrical and instrumentation. 

“PVB’s new headquarters is a logical and necessary step in our business growth strategy.  It provides the opportunity to further expand our operations and will increase our ability to serve current and future clients,” said Peter Van Bogaert, president of PVB.
