The investment will support construction of a new 15,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at the industrial park in Pineville, owned and managed by the Wyoming County Economic Development Authority. The expansion will grow Oceanetics’ workforce from 20 to 45 employees, adding skilled positions in welding, machining, fabrication and engineering. The company also plans to invest $1.2 million in specialized manufacturing equipment. Construction is expected to begin shortly, with the facility anticipated to open in fall 2027.

Oceanetics manufactures advanced maritime buoy systems, naval defense equipment and port security technologies serving the U.S. Navy and the energy security sector.

Governor Patrick Morrisey said:

“West Virginia has the skilled workforce and resources to attract manufacturers that are creating good-paying jobs right here in our state. This investment will help Oceanetics expand its operations, create new opportunities for families in Wyoming County, and strengthen Southern West Virginia’s growing manufacturing economy.”
