Millar Inc. moving headquarters to Pearland in 2022

Millar Inc. will move its headquarters to a 5-acre site on Kirby Drive just south of Beltway 8 in Pearland by 2022.

Millar develops and manufactures pressure sensor-enabled devices, and partners with global leaders in technology, manufacturing and health care, according to a news release sent out by the Pearland Economic Development Corporation.

“Many of our employees currently reside in Pearland. ... We are excited to continue to bring new jobs to the community,” Millar CEO Tim Daugherty said in the release. “We felt the Lower Kirby District to be an ideal location that can support Millar’s long-term growth plans for the future.”

The PEDC and Pearland city officials have been working with Millar to relocate to the city since 2017, according to the news release. The company's headquarters are currently located at 6001-A Gulf Freeway, Houston.

Millar’s Pearland headquarters and manufacturing facility will be 56,000 square feet, and it will also house the company’s research, development and warehouse functions, the release said.

“The city of Pearland is honored to welcome Millar to Pearland, and we look forward to a long partnership between them and our community,” Pearland Mayor Kevin Cole said. “It has been a long-standing goal of the city to cultivate a diverse spectrum of life science- and medical device-related organizations to the community—specifically Lower Kirby—and Millar’s selection of Pearland for its headquarters and manufacturing facility is a testament to our efforts.”
