Bloomfield, Mich.,-based AXYS announced this week a planned $2.2 million operations center to be located in Winchester.

The operations center will be located in a 10,000-square-foot leased building at Cedar Creek Grade.

The project will create 46 new jobs in the northern Shenandoah Valley.

AXYS is a consulting firm that delivers solutions for mission-critical facilities through standardization, auditing, and design.

The company chose Winchester for its new operations due to the city’s proximity to local data centers, the availability of skilled talent in the area, and convenient access to businesses along the Interstate 81 corridor.

“AXYS focuses on delivering innovative engineering solutions and advancing technology for our clients,” said Shane Ranck, the chief technology officer at AXYS, which also has a location in Chihuahua, Mexico. “We are excited to partner and expand with the state of Virginia, which will open up exponential pathways for success. Virginia’s emphasis on and prioritization of key markets that we currently serve, such as data centers, manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and more, enables us to better serve our clients.”

“AXYS’ decision to establish operations in Winchester reinforces Virginia’s position as a hub for cutting-edge technology services,” Gov. Glenn Youngkin said. “This investment not only creates new jobs but also strengthens our growing network of companies supporting mission-critical facilities and data centers.”

“The City of Winchester’s economy is thriving, with low unemployment and strong infrastructure, thanks to its strategic location and effective governance,”  Winchester City Manager Dan Hoffman said. “The city’s strong economy is a testament to its business-friendly environment and skilled workforce.”
