The Ponca City Development Authority (PCDA) is pleased to announce that Log10 LLC, a food safety consulting firm and microbiology lab specializing in the research and production of probiotics, has acquired the spec building it has called home since 2015. This milestone underscores Log10’s commitment to Ponca City and highlights the company’s significant contributions to the local economy and industrial ecosystem.
Log10 LLC, originally recruited to Ponca City by PCDA in 2015, found its initial home in a state-of-the-art spec building designed to attract manufacturing companies. Over the past decade, Log10 has transformed the building into a cutting-edge facility with more than $10 million invested in improvements, including specialized lab space, advanced equipment, and infrastructure upgrades. The company’s workforce has grown to approximately 25 employees, with positions offering competitive wages in their production areas as well as high-demand scientific fields.
“Log10’s acquisition of the building is a testament to their confidence in Ponca City as a strategic location for their growth,” said Lori Henderson, Executive Director of PCDA. “This move reinforces our belief in the power of spec buildings to attract and retain innovative companies that drive economic progress.”
Log10’s expertise in food safety, sanitation, microbiology and probiotics serves both pet food and human food manufacturers. Their presence has brought high-paying jobs to Ponca City, while their advanced capabilities enhance the industrial park’s ecosystem by attracting complementary businesses and fostering innovation.
A Proven Strategy for Growth
PCDA’s spec building program has been a cornerstone of its economic development strategy for over two decades. By constructing four spec buildings to date, PCDA has created opportunities for companies to establish and expand their operations in Ponca City. These facilities have become home to businesses that form the backbone of the community, contributing to job creation and economic diversification.
The latest addition to this program, the Duke spec building, was completed in July 2024. Spanning 39,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space, the Duke building has already garnered interest from several companies within and beyond Ponca City, further demonstrating the enduring value of PCDA’s proactive approach.
