Business and Industry

Progress and Prosperity

Retail, manufacturing and research provide the foundation for Clovis’ business base. Vibrant and growing, examples of successful businesses are easy to locate. Anlin Industries is a window-replacement manufacturing company that started its operations in Clovis over 50 years ago with 92 employees. Today, the company employs over 300. Anlin is known for its superior warranty program, along with the common knowledge that its windows and doors are easy to operate and maintain while being energy efficient.

Another prime example of success is Pelco, the world’s largest manufacturer of security cameras. Pelco began its Clovis operations in 1988 with a modest 100 employees; today, the company employs over 2,000 workers who take pride in their work and are good citizens of the community. This privately owned company has offices around the world and will be opening a research and development site in Colorado. Every Christmas, Pelco employees compete with each other to collect the greatest number of contributions to the “Toys for Tots” drive. Their efforts have created the largest donation by any organization in the country.

Looking toward the future, Clovis is on its way to becoming a high-tech town. The Clovis Research and Technology Park is attracting new business. A private business incubator, CargoBay, which provides office space for small businesses, has expanded into two new complexes and added Office Bay and Venture Bay. Another 125,000 square feet is filled by businesses providing services.

Clovis is taking its interest in high-tech one step further by creating the Technopolis Clovis core Committee (TC3). Made up of 22 community members, its goal is to create a city atmosphere that will attract and nurture industries such as biotechnology, healthcare, environment and water technology, and hard and soft sciences.

Clovis is a great place to conduct business. Quality schools, a stable and knowledgeable work force, industrial parks, a wonderful climate, and a stable cost of living index make Clovis an attractive home to business owners. Clovis is also appealing to employees. With a relatively low unemployment rate, an easy commute, public transportation and accessibility to the larger Fresno metropolitan area, there are additional reasons for individuals to live and work in Clovis.
