Wachter Inc., a national provider of electrical, data, communications, automation and other building systems, will expand its facility in Lowell, Arkansas. The company said it will invest $2 million in the expansion and add 20 new jobs.

Wachter, which said it is experiencing greater local and national demand, currently employs 260 at its Lowell operations.

“It is always great to see a business be able to announce expansions and new hiring,” said Raymond Burns, president and CEO of the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce. “Wachter is a great company that does some truly amazing things.”
