Company To Expand NW Arkansas Operations, Add Jobs

A national provider of electrical, data, communications and automation systems says it's expanding its facility in Lowell.

Wachter Inc. said Tuesday it plans to invest $2 million in the expansion and add 20 new jobs, bringing total employment at the facility to 260. The expansion of the Lowell facility is necessary due to Wachter's continued growth, both locally and nationally, over the years.

Raymond Burns, president and CEO of the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce, says Wachter is a great company and officials look forward to working with company officials as they continue to be an important part of the community. Wachter has had a presence in Lowell since 2003.

Headquartered in Lenexa, Kansas, Wachter is a leading national provider of infrastructure services, communications equipment and technical support.
