Triumph Group Relocates Operations Center To Edgerton, Kansas
07/25/2016
Triumph will occupy the new 156,000-sq.-ft. facility, located in the Logistics Park Kansas City, under a long-term lease agreement with NorthPoint Development. The relocation to this new facility, being built by Clayco Construction, is expected to begin in September, after Triumph receives its certificate of occupancy, and be complete by late June 2017. The Edgerton site was selected based on a number of factors, according to Rick Rosenjack, Executive Vice President of Triumph’s Precision Components business unit.
“The LPKC development was chosen due to strong support from the state of Kansas and the local community in Edgerton, close proximity to an established training facility, exceptional logistics, and readily available space for future expansion,” said Rosenjack. “The short distance from Grandview to Edgerton also allows us to keep most of our experienced employee base intact, which is critical to continuity of production for our valued customers.”
“We value the strong relationship between the Triumph Group and our state and appreciate its continued investment and commitment to growing in Kansas,” said Governor Sam Brownback. “These types of partnerships are key to our success, and we look forward to the launch of this venture and others like it in the future.”
“Limited manufacturing companies like Triumph bring high quality jobs to our community exemplifying the flexibility of LPKC to attract industries beyond warehousing, distribution and internet fulfillment,” said Edgerton Mayor Donald Roberts. “Edgerton’s streamlined development process coupled with NorthPoint Development’s aggressive speculative building program ensures we can quickly meet clients’ critical needs and deliver speed-to-market that cannot be matched in the Kansas City area.”
Triumph’s Small and Medium Parts Center of Excellence excels at machining and assembly of aircraft components made from aluminum and hard metal. Products include landing gear structure and assemblies, seat/cargo tracks, floor beams, thrust reverser beams, stringer end fittings, wing attach fittings, installation brackets, hinge arm assemblies and engine inlet assemblies. It currently employs approximately 180 people.
With the addition of the new facility at LPKC, Triumph will have three factories in Kansas: another Precision Components facility in Wichita (employing approximately 175 people) and a Product Support facility in Wellington (employing approximately 115 people).
