Swiss Engineering Company To Expand Bartlesville Facility

The economy in Bartlesville will soon be getting a boost.

The Swiss engineering company, ABB, announced Thursday it is expanding its Washington County operation significantly over the next few months.

The company is doubling the size of its facility to meet the growing demand for ABB's natural gas measurement equipment.

On top of that $14 million project, the company also plans to add 250 high-paying jobs over the next decade.

This is ABB's third expansion in Bartlesville since 2000.
