Products produced in Des Moines are used in the construction of commercial high rise buildings, oil and energy applications, bridges and highways, utilities and water treatment and home building.
The proposed project consists of a new 154,000 square foot facility that will allow for additional production capacity. The expansion will also allow for the modernization of standard product manufacturing processes, resulting in productivity increases. The board awarded the project tax benefits through HQJ for the projected $11 million capital investment. The expansion will create 40 jobs and retain 88.
