KAK Industry Expands Albany, Missouri, Manufacturing Center
11/10/2021
The new facility will help KAK Industry meet increasing demand for custom-made firearms parts by doubling the volume of production and eliminating several raw material suppliers.
“Having grown up in Missouri, KAK Industry’s owner, Kurt Kosman, has always had a love for the ‘Show Me’ State and a very ‘Show Me’ attitude in his business,” said Joel Edwards, Plant Manager for KAK Industry. “After a decade building KAK Industry in Oxnard, California, Kurt is excited to expand KAK and continue its growth in Missouri. We look forward to becoming more involved with the community of Northwest Missouri and plan to provide well-paying jobs with excellent benefits and a supportive work environment. We aim to make KAK Industry one of the most technologically advanced manufacturing facilities in the area.”
Headquartered in Lee’s Summit, KAK Industry currently operates a testing facility in Albany and a manufacturing campus in Oxnard, California. The company manufactures more than 6.1 million firearms components annually, supplies many major manufacturers, and sells directly to customers. KAK also supplies small arms components and other troop support components to the U.S. government.
“Our state’s skilled workforce and friendly business climate continues to create opportunities statewide for manufacturers like KAK Industry,” said Governor Mike Parson. “KAK Industry’s expansion in Albany displays the strength of our manufacturing sector and will create dozens of good–paying jobs in rural Northwest Missouri. We’re proud KAK chose to grow right here in Missouri and look forward to its continued success.”
For this expansion, KAK Industry used 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 are thrilled to welcome KAK Industry to Albany,” said Mackenzie Manring, Economic Development Director for the City of Albany. “The company’s investment in our community and commitment to providing quality jobs is proof that Northwest Missouri is a region with endless potential.”
