There’s a new spark in Jefferson City. It’s coming from Oshkosh Corporation, the Fortune 500 manufacturer that recently established a plant to fabricate body assemblies for the U.S. military’s Humvee replacement – the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle.

Less than a year into operations in Jefferson County, Oshkosh is pushing 100 employees, featuring welders and fabricators. The company expects to eventually have more than 300 employees at the facility.
“We’ve built facilities all over the world, and I think this experience has been one of our best,” Oshkosh’s President and CEO Wilson Jones said at a grand opening ceremony earlier this year in Jefferson City. “This is the start of what I think will be one of the great fab-weld facilities in whole corporation.”
