LAS VEGAS — Three companies plan to create more than 130 new, high-paying jobs to help grow and diversify the Las Vegas region’s economy over the next two years. In July’s board of directors meeting, the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) announced Alliance North America (ANA), Mako Advanced Materials LLC (MAKO) and Universal Plastic Mold, Inc. (UPM) are moving to or expanding in the Southern Nevada Region.
Alliance North America is a manufacturer of mobile air compressors and generators; Mako Advanced Materials LLC is a local startup company producing surface adhesives and sealants for the aviation industry; and Universal Plastic Mold, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of injection molding services.
“LVGEA and its regional partners are excited to welcome these innovative companies to Southern Nevada,” said Tina Quigley, President and CEO of the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance (LVGEA). “Their investment in our region not only bolsters our business ecosystem and helps diversify our economy, but it proves Las Vegas is an ideal hub for cutting-edge companies.”
The GOED board also approved tax incentives for all three companies, who will be contributing more than $40.7 million in capital investments in the first two years of operation and generate over $25.2 million in new state tax revenues over the 10-year abatement period. Details about the companies approved for abatements are below.
“Nevada remains dedicated to creating opportunities for business to thrive, and today’s approval is a testament to our proactive approach in attracting and retaining companies,” said Governor Joe Lombardo. “By supporting their growth, we are ensuring our state remains a hub for innovation and economic resilience.”
LVGEA, in collaboration with its municipal partners throughout Clark County, has supported these companies during the tax abatement approval process.

“We chose Henderson as our home due to the city’s thriving economy, strong community infrastructure, and commitment to nurturing business growth, which aligns perfectly with Mako’s values and goals,” said John D. Lincoln, President of MAKO. “With existing foundations in the region, choosing Henderson was a natural fit for us, offering ample opportunities for market expansion and meaningful community engagement.
