We appreciate the efforts of the Cherokee Nation and Chief Bill John Baker to bring quality jobs to the region and look forward to working with them in the future.”
Star Pipe will continue manufacturing and providing casting, machining, metal fabrication, assembly and production of customized cast iron and ductile iron products in South Coffeyville. The company has plans to expand and modernize the production facility and create new jobs. Star Pipe will retain all 88 current jobs and create 260 new jobs.

“The Cherokee Nation is dedicated to partnering with state and local governments to bring industry, jobs and economic development to northeast Oklahoma,” Principal Chief Bill John Baker said. “Star Pipe will infuse South Coffeyville and all of Nowata County with critical payroll and infrastructure dollars. That will improve the lives of area families for years to come. Cherokee Nation is proud to play our role in ensuring a talented workforce is recruited, trained and prepared to fulfill the employment opportunities created by Star Pipe.”
The company’s direct investment is expected to be more than $40 million.
“South Coffeyville offers small town living with big city opportunities,” said Mayor Jim Wilhelms. “This project will create new economic opportunities for residents in Nowata County and surrounding communities. Thank you to Star Pipe for choosing our community, and to Cherokee Nation, our community development team and the state officials that made this possible.”
The collaborative efforts between the municipal, state and Cherokee Nation governments played a role in making the expansion possible.
“This is a big win for a strong Cherokee community,” said Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. “It shows the power of partnerships when it comes to economic development.”
Victoria Vazquez, deputy speaker of the Cherokee Nation Tribal Council, said attracting new business, industry and investments in the region remains a priority for Cherokee Nation.
“Recruiting companies like Star Pipe into Oklahoma means good, quality jobs for our people, and that makes our families and our schools stronger in South Coffeyville,” said Vazquez. “Every job doesn’t have to be a Cherokee Nation job, but we have proven our willingness to play our role in training or helping with infrastructure needs if it will help the local community.”
