Paul Mueller Company Expands Springfield, Missouri, Manufacturing Operations

08/29/2024
Paul Mueller Company, a manufacturer of stainless steel tanks, components, and equipment that serves various industries, plans to expand its operations in Springfield, Missouri. The $22 million project is expected to create 133 new jobs.

The investment will include a new 100,000-square-foot production facility that will increase the company’s capacity for the assembly of large production modules.

“We are proud to break ground on this 100,000-square-foot facility in Springfield, Missouri,” said David Moore, President and CEO of Paul Mueller Company. “It will provide a column-free open manufacturing space where we can assemble and test larger systems for our pharmaceutical, food, beverage, and chemical customers. Our coworkers have made this possible by safely providing increased value to our customers, resulting in the largest backlog and highest profitability in our history. The facility will also expand product development and training capabilities to support our growth. We look forward to continuing to offer our customers the talents of our coworkers and the resources of Springfield when the facility opens next year.”

To support the project Paul Mueller Company will benefit from the Missouri Works program, a tool that helps companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation.

“We’re proud to continue to support Paul Mueller Company as it furthers its legacy of helping Missourians prosper in Springfield,” noted Michelle Hataway, Director of the Department of Economic Development. “This expansion is the latest chapter of the company’s long history of contributions to southwest Missouri and its vibrant manufacturing industry. We’re grateful for Paul Mueller Company’s ongoing commitment to our state and appreciate our partners who helped ensure its continued growth.”

The company is also receiving assistance from Missouri One Start, a division of the Department of Economic Development. Missouri One Start assists eligible businesses with their recruitment and training needs.

"The Chamber is thrilled about this expansion," added Matt Morrow, President of the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce. "The growth of Paul Mueller has always had an incredible ripple effect on the local economy for over 80 years, and their reputation as a global leader in stainless steel manufacturing that started right here in Springfield is just one of the things that sets this community apart. Springfield grows its own, and Paul Mueller's continued investment and leading job creation is a great example of what we are capable of achieving."

Paul Mueller Company builds innovative processing equipment for dairy farms, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical facilities. The company has manufacturing and sales operations in Iowa, the Netherlands, and Vietnam.
