“I’m thrilled to see companies like Latham Group expanding into our great state and our thriving manufacturing sector,” said Kevin Stitt, Governor of Oklahoma. “Latham Group is a premier manufacturing operation and I'm proud of the hard work done to recruit this company and its new facility, and the jobs and opportunities Latham’s facility will bring to Oklahomans."
