Vortex Doors Opens Services in Oklahoma City

OKLAHOMA CITY – Irvine, CA-based Vortex Doors has announced the opening of its newest service center location in Oklahoma City, creating 30 new jobs and an investment in the local economy of $350,000.

“Oklahoma City is a growing business hub with a large working population. We feel the business community could benefit from the reliability and longevity that Vortex brings,” said Rob Knapp, chief operating officer, Vortex Doors.

Vortex has been in business since 1937 and has a rich history of specializing in all types of commercial and industrial door repairs and replacement services, including hangar and large-scale doors. Vortex discovered that while there are a lot of hangar door manufacturers in the country, there aren’t as many service companies to support and repair these doors. “Because they are critical to the aviation and aerospace operations, we expanded our hangar door services on a national level giving customers a reliable and highly experienced team to service these doors throughout the country,” added Knapp. Vortex has experience with a variety of aviation-related companies including Spaceforce, Virgin Galactic, NASA, and military bases across the United States.

“Our abundant workforce and strong business community make Oklahoma City the ideal choice for Vortex’s newest location,” said Christy Gillenwater, president and CEO, Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce. “With the aerospace industry being the second largest and fastest growing industry in the state, Vortex’s specialization in hangar door operation is a welcome addition.”

Located at 30 NE 38th Terrace, the newest Vortex service center joins the other 47 service centers in 13 states. Unique to Oklahoma City will be the support of the exclusive Hangar Door Division. “This division is a team of our most experienced technicians, engineers, and project managers specialized to ensure the best, most cost-effective solutions for the aviation and aerospace industries,” added Knapp.

“We are excited to welcome Vortex Doors and are grateful for their commitment and investment to Oklahoma,” said Hopper Smith, Brigadier General (ret.), Executive Director of The Oklahoma Department of Commerce. “Our state’s pro-business policies make it the ideal place to support Vortex’s growing operations.”

The Oklahoma City team leader/manager is Jeff Burbine and the customer service leader is Jillian Young.
