Pantex cuts ribbon on new downtown Pantex Amarillo Campus
AMARILLO, TX – As part of Pantex’s ongoing efforts to strategically manage available on-site office space and accommodate long-term growth, it is moving employees into the Pantex Amarillo Campus, located at the Happy State Bank Building in downtown Amarillo. In celebration of this important step forward, Pantex held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, April 15.
“Today is not just about cutting a ribbon – it’s about progress, growth, and the continued collaboration between Pantex and the Amarillo community,” said Kelly Beierschmitt, Pantex president and general manager. “We are proud to be here, and we look forward to the positive impact this facility will have on our operations and the continued success of our mission.”
This new location, situated in the heart of Amarillo’s central business district, provides office space for more than 400 Pantexans.
"Center City is excited to welcome the Pantex team members who will be working in our downtown,” said Beth Duke, executive director of Center City of Amarillo. “The addition of the Pantex workforce will add vibrancy to our efforts to continue improving Amarillo's historic downtown. They will discover the downtown dining district, Hodgetown, our downtown hotels, and all the great downtown businesses that are ready to welcome them."
The lease agreement includes an initial five-year base period, with potential extension options. Pantexans began work in their new offices on April 14.
