Central Power Systems & Services Expands Platte County, Missouri, Operations

12/18/2024
Central Power Systems & Services, a power generator manufacturer, plans to expand its operations in Platte County, Missouri. The more than $28.5 million project is expected to create 245 jobs.

The investment includes a new training center located at the Platte International Commerce Center in Platte City.

“Central Power has been building custom designed products within the area for over a decade, and we are honored to have the opportunity to continue to grow within our Platte County community,” said Paige Roberts, Director of Marketing for Central Power. “Our leadership team is comprised of individuals who have an extensive background in diesel repair, and our company values are centered around doing what is right and taking care of our team members. We look forward to bringing these values to the Platte City community, along with bright career options and technical training programs! We thank everyone for the tremendous support we have received already.”

To support the project Central Power 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. The company may also receive 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.

“DED is pleased to support Central Power Systems & Services as it brings new opportunities to Platte City,” noted Michelle Hataway, Director of the Department of Economic Development. “We’re excited to see manufacturers continuing to help Missourians prosper in the Kansas City region and beyond through investment and job creation.”

Central Power specializes in the manufacturing and assembly of natural gas and diesel generators in addition to maintenance and rental services of generators and other heavy equipment, including industrial engines, construction and agricultural equipment, and more.

"We are thrilled Central Power Systems & Services has expanded in Platte County," added Tina Chace, Executive Director of Platte County Economic Development Council. This expansion highlights the company's confidence in our region as a thriving hub for business growth, bringing valuable opportunities and continued development to our community."
