AURORA, CO / ACCESS Newswire / April 8, 2026 / RK Industries ("RK"), a leading provider of construction, manufacturing, advanced fabrication and building service solutions, announced the official opening of its new headquarters on April 1, 2026 in Aurora, Colorado, at 3301 Lewiston Street.

The headquarters will serve as the central hub for RK's operations and support the creation of nearly 1,200 new jobs in its first year, significantly accelerating the company's original projection of 1,800 jobs over eight years. Adams County is now home to all eight of the company's businesses, including RK Industries, RK Mechanical, RK Service, RK Steel, RK Energy, RK Water, RK Electrical and RK Mission Critical, as well as the RK Foundation and RK Cares philanthropic arms.

The move marks a significant transition after more than 30 years in Denver and over 40 years in Colorado. Spanning nearly 155,000 square feet, the facility is more than 70% larger than RK's previous Denver headquarters, reflecting the company's rapid growth and continued commitment to operational excellence. RK collaborated closely with Governor Jared Polis's office, the Global Business Development Division of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) and the Aurora Economic Development Council over a two-year period to bring the project to fruition.

RK's new headquarters is also expected to drive long-term economic impact across the region. Since launching its in-house apprenticeship program in 1995, RK has expanded from three trades to a seven-trade, accredited, four-year federally recognized registered program. The company is widely recognized as a leader in workforce development through its commitment to developing its workforce, philanthropic support through the RK Foundation and its active participation in industry, educational and community organizations.

Amid a growing nationwide shortage of skilled trades professionals, RK's expansion increases access to high-quality career opportunities for residents of Adams County, surrounding communities and the regions and states where RK operates. These efforts help address critical workforce needs that support Colorado's economy and beyond.

"Since selecting Aurora and Adams County as the home for our businesses, we initially projected hiring 1,800 employees over the next eight years," said Jon Kinning, Chief Operating Officer of RK Industries. "We have since accelerated those plans and now expect to add more than 1,200 team members this year alone. We are proud to exceed our commitments to the State of Colorado, Adams County and the City of Aurora by creating high-quality jobs with benefits and long-term career pathways in the skilled trades that are the foundation of our family business."
