This highlights the dedicated efforts of the Rehrig Pacific Team, state and local developers, and the critical partnership with the City of Buckeye. Their collaboration was instrumental in the fast-paced construction of this innovative, people-focused facility, which broke ground in May of 2023.
“We are grateful for the support of our local and state partners,” said Will Rehrig, CEO of Rehrig Pacific. “Choosing Buckeye to build our plant was a great decision, allowing us to become part of a special community and build a lasting partnership with the city. This facility represents more than just a workplace—it embodies our mission and values, provides an innovative space for our people to grow and excel, and gives us the opportunity to deliver exceptional service to our customers while expanding for the future.”
Rehrig Pacific anticipates around 115 full-time positions within the plant. The building sits on a 35-acre site, providing the opportunity to double the facility to 500,000 sq ft in the future. The facility was designed for employees’ safety, comfort, and well-being. It is equipped with fully air-conditioned spaces, smart dock controls, 380 KW solar panels, EV charging stations, a water reclamation system, and more.
Local resident Jaime Hernandez, now employed at the new plant, expressed enthusiasm, “Rehrig Pacific coming to Buckeye was a blessing because it gave my family and me great benefits and reduced my commute by over 75%. This allows me to spend my time and money where it matters most, with my family.”
