Centrus Energy selects Geiger Brothers for uranium plant expansion

Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE: LEU) selected Geiger Brothers Inc. as the construction contractor for its uranium enrichment capacity expansion in Piketon, Ohio, the company announced.

The multi-billion-dollar project will add thousands of AC100M centrifuges at Centrus' American Centrifuge Plant to produce Low-Enriched Uranium and High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium. Fluor Corporation serves as the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction contractor, overseeing engineering, design, project management, and procurement, while Geiger Brothers will conduct on-site construction work.

"Geiger Brothers brings more than a century of experience and a strong Ohio workforce to our project," said Centrus President and CEO Amir Vexler. "Their deep expertise in complex industrial construction, including work across the energy and nuclear sectors, makes them an ideal partner as we scale up production capacity."

Founded in 1909 and headquartered in Jackson, Ohio, Geiger Brothers is an employee-owned construction and engineering firm with experience in mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fabrication, and industrial construction projects across Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Tennessee. The company previously worked on Centrus' existing HALEU cascade and an LEU demonstration cascade completed in 2013.

The expansion will support Centrus' $2.3 billion commercial LEU backlog and provide at least 12 metric tons per year of HALEU production capacity. Centrifuge manufacturing for the expansion began in December 2025 at Centrus' Oak Ridge, Tennessee facility.

Erik Massie, President and Chief Financial Officer of Geiger Brothers, said the company is "proud to support this historic investment in America's nuclear fuel supply chain."
