Gov. Beshear Announces Green Boiler to Expand Operations in
Danville, Create 27 Jobs
Manufacturer of boilers, water heaters to invest $365,000 in plant
FRANKFORT Ky. (Aug. 13, 2012) – Governor Steve Beshear today announced Green
Boiler Technologies (GBT) will expand operations at its Danville facility, creating 27
new, full-time jobs and investing $365,000 in the Commonwealth.
“I’m pleased the Commonwealth is equipped to partner with Green Boiler Technologies,
so that it can invest in its Kentucky plant, remain competitive and grow more than two
dozen new jobs,” said Gov. Beshear. “This is great news for GBT, the Danville area and
the Commonwealth.”
GBT was founded in late 2007 and has grown into a leading manufacturer of boilers,
water heaters and boiler room accessories. In 2008, the company acquired Sellers
Engineering that had been in operation since 1931. GBT plans to make improvements
and purchase new equipment for its existing 30,000-square-foot facility in Danville.
“The economic downturn the last couple of years has been very difficult for a lot of
businesses, both small and large,” said GBT General Manager Randy Woolum. “We are
pleased that we have started to see positive changes taking place in the commercial
heating market and are hopeful that they continue. The economic development funds will
provide us with opportunities better to react and manage these changes through controlled
hiring as well as equipment upgrades. We are grateful for the Commonwealth’s
incentives and we appreciate Kentucky’s endorsement.”

2. To encourage the investment and job growth in Danville, the Kentucky Economic
Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved the company for tax incentives
up to $300,000 through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-
based incentive allows a company to keep a portion of its investment over the term of the
agreement through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments by meeting job
and investment targets.
“The people of Danville and the surrounding areas have proved themselves ready and
willing to work hard,” said Sen. Tom Buford, of Nicholasville. “I am very pleased that
GBT will be sinking even deeper roots into our community.”
“Green Boiler Technologies’ roots go back to 1931 in Danville as Sellers Engineering,”
said Danville Mayor Bernie Hunstad. “It’s great to see one of our oldest industries
continuing to thrive and grow in the modern economy with this planned expansion.”
“GBT and its employees are valuable assets to Boyle County,” said Boyle County Judge-
Executive Harold McKinney. “Expansions show an industry’s recommitment to our
community. We appreciate Green Boiler Technologies’ recommitment through 27 new
jobs and $365,000 in new investment.”
