 Pensacola, Fla. – Jan. 27, 2012 – Enterprise Florida, Escambia County and the Pensacola Bay Area Chamber of Commerce hosted an economic development ribbon cutting today in Pensacola.
The ceremony was held to celebrate the recent announcement of the expansion of Cantonment-based Custom Control Solutions, Inc. (CCS) to Pensacola. Lt. Governor Carroll was in attendance.
“CCS made their mark on the industrial world with their premier solutions at a lower price,” said Lt. Governor Carroll. “Custom Control Solutions has had a 40% annual growth rate in advance manufacturing process, and this kind of growth will continue to succeed.”
Headquartered at 1520 Power Blvd. in Cantonment, CCS designs and builds Analyzer Systems, Industrial Control Systems, Instrument Cabinets and System Integration Services. One of the company’s largest and most competitive markets is “building industrial equipment buildings,” and its largest competitors are located in the North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
“What do fifteen new jobs mean to Escambia County? Millions,” said County Commissioner Wilson Robertson.
“The growth of Custom Control Solutions is directly related to the professionalism of the team members and solutions that we constantly provide to our current, previous and future customers,” said Glen Miller, vice president of production for Custom Control Solutions.
Currently, CCS out sources the fabrication of these buildings, but through this project – a $520,000 community investment -- the company plans to construct them at its new facility in Pensacola. The address is 9165 Roe Street in Pensacola.
CCS presently has 20 employees, but the expansion will create 15 jobs with annual salaries averaging $39,616.
These jobs area a result of the Pensacola Bay Area Chamber of Commerce’s Vision 2015 Initiative, the five-year plan for job creation in the Pensacola Bay Area. For additional information about CCS, visit www.ccsinc-florida.com.
