</div>TULSA, Okla., Sept. 14, 2026 <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com" target="_blank">(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)</a> -- Crusoe, the AI factory company, today opened its second manufacturing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as it continues to grow the skilled team that builds the equipment powering America’s AI leadership. The new facility adds 400,000 square feet to Crusoe’s Tulsa operations, bringing the company’s national manufacturing footprint to roughly 1 million square feet. The facilities make the electrical equipment that serves as the foundation for AI innovation, including medium-voltage switchgear, low-voltage switchboards, electrical enclosures, industrial controls, and custom-fabricated copper busbar. Crusoe has hired more than 300 local craft workers to build these components across the two Tulsa sites, up from the 100 expected when the first facility opened in 2024. Their work supports gigawatts of AI infrastructure, including more than 2,500 switchboards supplied to Crusoe’s flagship Stargate Project site in Abilene, Texas. “There’s a lot of talk about the AI buildout, but so much of it comes down to real people building real things, and we need more of those skilled hands here in Tulsa,” said Cully Cavness, Co-founder, President and Chief Strategy Officer of Crusoe. “This team creates the equipment that makes the future of AI possible, and manufacturing ourselves, here in America, is what lets us move as fast as we do. Today we are proud to welcome more than 300 full-time manufacturing staff in Tulsa to Crusoe’s team of more than 1,800 employees and 15,000 skilled workers across our sites, all striving together to accomplish Crusoe’s mission: to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence.” The Tulsa facilities depend on local labor in everything from engineering and welding to powder coating, fabrication, and electrical assembly. That hands-on expertise is exactly what gives Crusoe its edge: because these components are designed and built in-house, the company can turn around in days what often takes the rest of the industry months. Owning the process end to end also means better quality, more flexibility, and more control, with every unit tested by the same team that built it. “Crusoe could have expanded anywhere, and it continues to choose Tulsa, Oklahoma,” said Governor Kevin Stitt. “That is what happens when you support job creators, invest in a capable workforce, and get the government out of the way. This expansion supports more than 300 Oklahomans and moves us closer to our goal of making Oklahoma a Top 10 state.” “The team we’ve built in Tulsa can make the hardest, most critical components faster than the industry thinks is possible,” said Andrew Sweatman, Vice President of Manufacturing at Crusoe. “A second facility gives them room to take on more, and to keep raising the bar as we grow.” Crusoe marked the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Governor Kevin Stitt, Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols, and additional Oklahoma state and local officials. The ceremony capped a day of tours and remarks celebrating the new facility and the team behind it, setting the tone for Crusoe’s next chapter of continued growth in Tulsa.
