Saipec International announces $15M expansion and new manufacturing facility in Nevada

CITEX International is set to make a significant impact in Nevada's economy following its recent announcement during the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED) Board Meeting on May 8, 2025. The company, which specializes in modular staging and trust design, is relocating from Northern California to Story County, where it has acquired a five-acre site to construct an 80,000 square foot facility. This move represents a $15 million investment in capital equipment over the next five years and is expected to create at least ten new jobs with an average wage of $44.50 per hour.

Mike Berruto, the founder of CITEX International, shared his journey from Poland to the United States and the evolution of his company, which began in 1982. He highlighted the advantages of relocating to Nevada, noting the expedited construction process compared to California. The new facility is anticipated to be operational by mid-2025, with manufacturing expected to commence by November of this year.

The meeting also featured discussions on the company's innovative product offerings, including their trademark quick lock systems for staging equipment, which cater to various sectors such as hotels, schools, and exhibition halls. The board members expressed their support for CITEX's expansion and the positive implications it holds for job creation and economic growth in the region.

As CITEX International prepares for its move, the community can look forward to the benefits of increased employment opportunities and the introduction of new products to the market. The GOED Board's endorsement of this project underscores Nevada's commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment that attracts innovative companies.
