Carson Manufacturing relocates to Clark County investing $10.2M and creating 50 jobs

In a pivotal meeting held on August 7, 2025, the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED) welcomed representatives from several companies seeking tax abatements to foster economic growth in the state. The atmosphere was charged with optimism as local leaders and business executives gathered to discuss significant investments that promise to create jobs and enhance Nevada's manufacturing landscape.

The meeting kicked off with Robert Nikora, the director of Carson Manufacturing, announcing the company's relocation from Mejia, Texas, to a new 50,000 square foot facility in Clark County. This veteran-owned manufacturer specializes in precision metal parts and is set to create 50 skilled jobs within the first two years, offering an average wage of $32 per hour. Nikora emphasized the importance of the local workforce and the exciting business environment in Las Vegas as key factors in their decision to move. The board unanimously approved the abatement request, marking a significant step in revitalizing American manufacturing.

Next, the spotlight turned to Cintas Corporation, represented by Nick Grody, who detailed plans for a $17.9 million investment to establish a specialty cleanroom facility in Henderson. This facility, one of only six of its kind in North America, will cater to high-tech industries such as pharmaceuticals and aerospace. Cintas aims to create 22 high-quality jobs with an average wage of $33.63. Grody expressed enthusiasm about expanding to the West Coast, highlighting the strategic advantages of the Henderson location. The board also approved Cintas's request for tax abatements, further solidifying Nevada's position as a hub for innovative industries.

The meeting continued with Tyler Baron from Crocs, who outlined the company's plans to expand its existing fulfillment and distribution center in North Las Vegas. This expansion will streamline operations and improve delivery times for Crocs products across the U.S. The board's approval of Crocs's tax abatement request signals confidence in the company's growth trajectory and its commitment to the local economy.

As the meeting progressed, board members engaged in thoughtful discussions about the implications of these investments for Nevada's workforce and economic landscape. The collective enthusiasm for these developments reflects a broader commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment that supports job creation and economic diversification.

With the approval of these significant projects, Nevada is poised to enhance its manufacturing capabilities and attract further investments, setting the stage for a robust economic future. The meeting concluded with a sense of accomplishment and anticipation for the positive impact these companies will have on the local community and economy.
