Solar Cell Equipment Manufacturer Plans 125 Jobs in Manatee County, Florida

Sep 29, 2009 – Mustang Vacuum Systems LLC announced today that it will relocate and expand its manufacturing operation in Manatee County where the company plans to add 125 jobs in the next 2 years at an annual average wage of more than $44,000. “The Economic Development Council, Manatee Chamber of Commerce (EDC) was pleased to help Mustang Vacuum Systems find the right location for the company’s expansion,” said Eric Basinger, EDC executive director.  “Mustang was located in Sarasota County for 4 years, and in partnership with Sarasota County, Manatee County government and the State of Florida, we were able to keep this fine company – and its growing number of higher-wage jobs – in the region.”

“We are excited to be relocating and expanding our manufacturing facility in Manatee County,” said Richard Greenwell, president of Mustang Vacuum Systems LLC. “With the EDC’s assistance, we were able to locate a facility and secure a grant from Manatee County. This will reduce some costs of our technology project, which is geared toward lowering the cost and increasing the efficiency of solar cells so that clean, renewable solar energy can be a viable choice for everyone.”

The 50,000-sq ft facility in Sarasota Commerce Center in South Manatee County will allow Mustang to expand its production of thin-film solar photovoltaic cell equipment, Greenwell said. With the goal of reducing solar energy costs, the company has designed and built three types of machines to meet the needs and specifications of solar cell manufacturers. Customers are now looking for larger, higher volume machines, which will provide greater performance and output, he said. Mustang’s expanded production capacity will drive down the cost of solar energy for consumers by incorporating technologies into solar cell production that will reduce costs as well as increase efficiency of the cells, he added.
