Pipe Coatings Firm Adds/Retains 80 Jobs in Relocation of Facility from KS to MO

Area Development News Desk

09/23/2011

Duraseal Pipe Coatings Co. has announced it will relocate its Olathe, KS, manufacturing facility across the state line to the former Richards-Gebaur Memorial Airport, situated about 18 miles south of Kansas City, MO. The technology innovator will bring 35 employees to its new 37,000-sq.-ft location and hire 45 new workers. The project brings an initial investment of $8.4 million. Each new position will pay over $30,000 a year.

Duraseal obtained nearly $212,000 in Missouri Quality Jobs program tax credits for the move.

"Richards-Gebaur is an ideal location for a company like Duraseal, a growth-oriented manufacturer staying on the cutting edge of its industry's technology," said Port Authority President Michael Collins.
