This strategic investment by Clarkson and Global is designed to fuel ChopAir’s continued growth in the commercial and industrial HVAC sector.

“At the end of the day, it came down to aligning on culture, values, and vision. By aligning with the powerhouse team of Clarkson and Global, we are sending a clear message to the market: no job is too big for ChopAir,” said Bobby Caffrey, President of ChopAir.
A Legacy of Scale and Capacity
Founded in 1880, Clarkson Construction has helped build Kansas City’s skyline from the ground up. From the first roads used by mules and oxen to the recent $1.5B Kansas City International Airport, Clarkson has done it all. Global, serving both Kansas City and Lincoln, brings deep field expertise, delivering reliable results through experienced crews and a robust equipment fleet. This partnership provides ChopAir with unprecedented access to institutional knowledge and the operational weight necessary to deliver large-scale projects.
The infusion of capital and shared operational resources will be used to accelerate the recruitment of HVAC and engineering specialists and expand ChopAir’s regional and national product offerings.
Commitment to the Kansas City Region
Both companies share a deep commitment to the regional workforce. By choosing a local powerhouse team over foreign investment, ChopAir is doubling down on its loyalty to current customers while signaling to prospective clients that it now possesses the scale and stability of a 6th-generation firm.
