Four expanding Chickasha manufacturers selected for OIEP funding

The recipients of the 2025 funding cycle for the Oklahoma Innovation Expansion Program (OIEP) have been announced, and four Chickasha manufacturers are on the list.

Baity Screw Machine Products, Medallion Mint, Royal Filter Manufacturing, and Midwestern Pet Foods were selected to receive a combined $182,000 to offset capital investment costs related to expansion or new production.

OIEP was developed to support high-impact new capital investment across a broad range of industries to help diversify the state’s economy, lead to new product development or increase capacity at Oklahoma’s existing companies. In addition to encouraging new capital investment, these awards support existing jobs and the creation of new jobs. The program is administered by the Oklahoma Department of Commerce and the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority.

Numerous Chickasha manufacturers have been awarded OIEP funding since the program’s inception in 2021, demonstrating the strength of our economy and the continued growth of our manufacturing sector. For a complete list of 2025 recipients or more information on the program, see the OIEP webpage.
