Area Development
Tech startup High Tech Solutions, a growing manufacturer of aerospace machined components and assemblies, is investing $14.4 million in a new production center southeast of Kansas City, in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.

The expansion includes a new 22,000 square-foot building and equipment; the company has plans to nearly double this within five years.

To assist High Tech Solutions with its expansion in Lee’s Summit, the Missouri Department of Economic Development has offered a strategic economic incentive package that the company can receive if it meets strict job creation criteria.

According to Missouri Department of Economic Development, the home-grown Missouri startup launched in Lee’s Summit in 2010 with two rented machines and today is a global aerospace industry supplier.

High Tech Solutions leadership points out that oftentimes, business dollars the company brings into Lee’s Summit are from places outside Missouri, such as Mexico, Canada, California and Texas.
