James M. Pleasants Co. Inc., a Greensboro-based distributor and sales representative of HVAC, plumbing and other industrial equipment, said Tuesday it will consolidate its Greensboro operations into a new facility.
The company said it is combining its headquarters, distribution and light manufacturing operations into a single unidentified facility. The company currently is based at 603 Diamond Hill Court.
The expansion will feature 40 new jobs and a $30 million capital investment, both over a five-year period.
JMP serves as a manufacturers’ representative for commercial heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, as well as plumbing equipment and accessories.
The company also manufactures commercial pump skids, devices that manage fluid transfer, circulation, and control.

“JMP has been growing in North Carolina for more than 65 years and we are very excited to continue our growth in this state,” Chuck Moore, the company’s vice president of operations, said in a news release.
“North Carolina is a wonderful state in which to do business, work and to live. This results in a highly motivated and skilled workforce, which is the lifeblood of our business.”
JMP’s new positions will include roles for sales, operational and manufacturing personnel. The average salary for the new jobs will be $64,250. The current average wage in Guilford County is $58,843.
The company has been made eligible for up to $35,000 in performance-based incentives over three years from the One North Carolina Fund, which requires matching local incentives.

“Our continued economic development momentum depends on maintaining our focus on the critical fundamentals that keep new jobs coming to North Carolina, especially our well-regarded educational and workforce training systems.”
