EagleBurgmann Plans New Building, Jobs In Houston Market

EagleBurgmann Industries L.P. – a global manufacturer of mechanical seals, systems, packing and expansion joints – announced plans Oct. 7 for a new facility designed to meet increasing demand from their increasing U.S. customer base.

A corporate resident of the Houston area since 1977, the new building will be located at 10035 Brookriver Drive, off Beltway 8 and 290, in Jersey Village, TX. The 25,000-square-foot facility will include space for administration, sales, manufacturing, training and testing, allowing EagleBurgmann to streamline operations as well as ensure the firm is able to meet increasing market demand.

The training facility will be used as an industry hub for technology transfer and instruction. The firm’s parent company, Freudenberg, will also use it to showcase their technologies for the oil and gas market. EagleBurgmann plans to break ground in November. The new building project is expected to be complete in 12 months.
