Bristol Compressors International Inc. plans to expand its operations in Washington County, a $1 million project that is expected to create 110 jobs.

The two-phase expansion will immediately move seasonal workers into full-time roles, and the company will add employees in its machining, material, quality and assembly areas.

Based in Washington County, Bristol designs and manufactures hermetic reciprocating compressors for residential and light commercial air conditioning, heat pump and refrigeration uses.

The company supplies compressors to manufacturers and wholesale distributors on six continents and in more than 60 countries.

Funding and services to support the company’s employee training activities will be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, administered by the Virginia Economic Development Partnership.
