QUOTES

“Gould Industries’ decision to invest in Pike County is another sign that Mississippi is attracting innovative companies that see long-term value in our state. This project strengthens Mississippi’s manufacturing sector while advancing solutions that will benefit industries well into the future. I am proud to welcome Gould Industries to Mississippi.”– Gov. Tate Reeves

“Mississippi has a track record for helping companies turn plans into reality. We have built a solid reputation for moving fast, staying flexible and delivering for businesses like Gould Industries that are ready to grow. It’s why companies are confidently investing in major projects and bringing real opportunities to Mississippians in every corner of our state.” –  Mississippi Development Authority Executive Director Bill Cork

“This acquisition is a defining moment in our company’s history and a deliberate step in the long-term vision I have set for Gould Industries in the United States. We did not simply look for a facility; we looked for the right community, the right people and the right opportunity to build something that lasts. Mississippi gave us all three. 

There is even a thread of history in it; centuries ago, French explorers charted a path from Quebec down to the Mississippi, and in our own way we are following that same route south. Under our ownership, this plant will be modernized, expanded and positioned as a cornerstone of our growth across North America. But our people have always been the heart of this company. We have been recognized as a Top 100 Employer for many years running, and that honor reflects a simple belief: when you put your team members and colleagues first, everything else follows. We are investing in talent, in innovation and in a model of manufacturing that will carry our 70-year legacy into its next chapter.” — Gould Industries President and Chief Executive Officer Frederico Panetta

“Gould Industries’ decision to invest in Pike County is another strong signal that our community continues to compete successfully for industrial growth and manufacturing investment. This project not only brings quality jobs and significant capital investment to our area, but it also breathes new life into an existing facility while supporting sustainability and innovation. We are proud to welcome Gould Industries to Pike County and look forward to supporting their long-term success in our community.” — Jill Busby, Economic Development Director, Pike County Economic Development District
