A Virginia company that manufactures enclosures used to protect critical infrastructure for telecommunications, public safety radio, data centers and utility projects is investing $5 million to expand its facility in Scott County.
The Cave Spring-based VFP Inc. will create 50 new jobs with the expansion, which will be helped along by a $75,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund approved by Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
Founded in 1965, VFP Inc. manufactures a variety of products ranging from heavyweight concrete to lightweight, flexible metal shelters that can be customized to meet diverse client needs.
VFP shelters are used primarily by utility providers, municipalities, data centers, and broadband providers, and can be found on all seven continents.
“Since relocating to Scott County over 25 years ago, VFP has experienced continued growth across all market sectors,” VFP Inc. president and CEO Scott File said. “VFP attributes this success to the loyalty and talent of our employee-owners who share the common goal of supplying industry leading, quality products and services to our valued customers. VFP is grateful to be in Scott County with an available workforce and local talent who can meet our vast manufacturing needs. We owe special thanks for the continued support and assistance received over the years from local, regional, and state agencies.”
“The success of long-term corporate partners like VFP Inc. is a prime example of what can be accomplished in Virginia,” Youngkin said. “Virginia’s robust data center industry relies on manufacturers like VFP, and those synergies have created a robust ecosystem of partners and suppliers.”
