James M. Pleasants Company Inc. (JMP), a distributor and sales representative for HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment, is set to consolidate its Greensboro operations into a new, state-of-the-art facility in Guilford County. This $30 million project marks a significant milestone for the company.
“When a North Carolina company like JMP chooses to grow in Guilford County, it’s a testament to our state’s appeal for businesses,” Gov. Roy Cooper said in a statement. “Companies familiar with us recognize North Carolina’s quality of life, exceptional workforce, and robust infrastructure.”
JMP specializes in representing commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, alongside plumbing products and accessories. They also manufacture commercial pump skids, essential for fluid transfer, circulation, and control. The company’s reach extends across the Southeastern United States, and this new project will integrate their headquarters, distribution, and light manufacturing operations into one cohesive location.
Commerce Secretary Machelle Baker Sanders expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “It’s always rewarding to see a successful North Carolina company expand. Our economic growth relies on our commitment to education and workforce training, which continues to attract new jobs to our state.”
This project was made possible through a collaborative effort involving the North Carolina Department of Commerce, the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Community College System, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the Commerce Department’s Division of Workforce Solutions, the City of Greensboro, Guilford County, and the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce.
