KSB officially opened its expanded Henrico County facility on Tuesday, completing what the company describes as a $25 million investment in new warehouse, assembly and service space. The German pump and valve manufacturer says the project brings together inventory storage, equipment assembly, testing and maintenance operations under one roof at its Henrico campus.
According to a company release from KSB, the expansion adds warehouse capacity along with assembly and workshop areas, room for KSB SupremeServ maintenance and repair work, and new offices. The company says teams at the site assemble, test, service and monitor equipment before it ships to customers across North America. As reported by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the completed project more than doubled the size of the facility, which sits at 4415 Sarellen Road.
Construction on the expansion began in January 2025 with Richmond-based contractor Hourigan, and the project reached substantial completion on Aug. 12, 2026 — on schedule and within budget, per the same KSB account. Employees moved into the finished space five days later. The timeline traces back to September 2024, when the project was first announced.
KSB's Henrico Roots Date to 1988
KSB's own release states the company has been headquartered in the county since 1988, and the Richmond Times-Dispatch also reports the company has operated there since 1988.
KSB's release says a rooftop solar array provides 50% of the campus's power needs, in addition to electric vehicle charging, a walking path, a pond and outdoor seating for employees. The Richmond Times-Dispatch likewise reports the array supplies about 50% of the facility's power needs.
Jobs and Incentives Tied to the Expansion
The expansion was expected to create 32 new jobs. When the Virginia Economic Development Partnership announced the project in 2024, it said the expansion was expected to create 32 new jobs. The Richmond Times-Dispatch likewise reports a 32-job target for Henrico and says KSB had achieved 17 of those positions as of June 30, 2026.
The state agency said Virginia's Jobs Investment Program provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs, helping reduce human-resource costs tied to recruitment and training for new and expanding businesses. At the time of the 2024 announcement, Gov. Glenn Youngkin framed the project as part of a broader manufacturing comeback in the state, saying, according to Bull Run Now, that “the Greater Richmond region offers the skilled workforce to support KSB's continued growth.”
Part of a Broader Push Into the US Market
KSB describes the Henrico expansion as part of its strategy through 2030, which includes growing its business in the United States. A separate account from EuropaWire describes the project as combining inventory, automated storage, assembly, workshops, testing and maintenance and repair capabilities at the Henrico site, consistent with KSB's own description of the consolidated campus.
The original 2024 announcement, reported by Virginia Business, said the project would more than double the square footage of KSB's Henrico facility and included plans for another loading dock, additional office space, and updates to shipping, receiving and employee common areas.
KSB's own release reports KSB Group revenue of €3.0 billion in 2025 and around 16,800 employees, while the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports parent-company revenue of €3 billion in 2025. Both describe a global manufacturer supplying pumps, valves and related services. Beyond the revenue question, the Richmond Times-Dispatch account states that KSB's products are used in sectors including water and wastewater treatment, manufacturing, pulp and paper, petroleum, chemicals and energy, and that the company was founded in Germany in 1871 and considers the Americas its third-largest market.
