The integrated design and engineering firm plans to open a 235,000 square-foot manufacturing and distribution facility.
Findlay Machine & Tool, LLC dba Kreate plans to open its first west coast facility in North Las Vegas after being approved for state tax incentives during the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) Board of Directors meeting today.
The vertically integrated design and engineering firm specializes in plastic injection molded products and produces a variety of products for the retail marketing, including storage totes, shelving, work supports, utility products, and drainage systems.
“North Las Vegas was a natural choice for Kreate due to logistical advantages, and local government incentives, paired with a strong local workforce, which makes it the perfect location for this expansion,” said Nickolas Reinhart, Founder and CEO of Kreate. “This investment reflects our commitment to our clients, ensuring we can meet their needs with unmatched speed, quality, and efficiency.”
Kreate’s 235,000 square foot facility is expected to be in full production by June 2025, and the company plans to make a capital investment of $11.5 million over the next two years. The facility will bring advanced manufacturing jobs to the region, including process engineers, plant managers, and tooling engineers.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kreate to North Las Vegas. Their investment in our city represents the type of high-quality manufacturing we aim to attract here,” said Jared Luke, Senior Director of Government Affairs and Economic Development for North Las Vegas. “Our strategic location, business-friendly environment, and talented workforce continue to attract innovative industry leaders, like Kreate, who are looking to expand their operations in the western United States.”
The Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance (LVGEA) assisted the City of North Las Vegas with guiding Kreate through the process of applying for state tax abatements, which was a key factor in the company’s decision to move to Southern Nevada.
“Kreate’s new manufacturing facility in North Las Vegas is a great example of the type of forward-thinking, high-tech growth that aligns with Southern Nevada’s economic vision,” said Betsy Fretwell, LVGEA interim CEO.“LVGEA is honored to work with the City of North Las Vegas to bring this application forward. By choosing our region for this expansion, Kreate is not only creating jobs and strengthening our local economy but also helping to position Southern Nevada as a leader in innovative and sustainable manufacturing.”
During its quarterly meeting today, the GOED board approved tax incentives for a total of three companies considering relocation or expansion throughout the state, including Kreate. These three companies will make capital investments of $71.7 million and generate $18 million in new state tax revenues over the next 10-year abatement period.
“Nevada continues to position itself as a leader in attracting businesses that drive economic growth,” said Governor Joe Lombardo. “By supporting companies that bring high-quality jobs and significant capital investment, we are strengthening our economy and creating new job opportunities for Nevadans. I am proud to support these companies that are choosing to grow and innovate here, and I look forward to seeing their positive impact on Nevada’s economy and workforce.”
