MARSHALLTOWN Plans Wyandotte County, Kansas, Operations

09/03/2024
Tool and product supplier MARSHALLTOWN plans to establish operations in Wyandotte County, Kansas. The $27 million project is expected to create 40 jobs.

The new 200,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, located in the Scannell Properties’ 435 Logistics Park, will serve as the company’s satellite location and will include warehouse space and distribution.

“I am thrilled to announce MARSHALLTOWN’s plans to build a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility in the Kansas City metro area that will significantly enhance our logistics capabilities,” MARSHALLTOWN COO Jack Murders said. “This strategically located facility is set to become a key hub for distribution and a vital transfer point between our operations. We believe this move represents another forward-thinking step for MARSHALLTOWN, reinforcing our commitment to strategic growth and operational excellence.”

MARSHALLTOWN offers more than 9,000 products for a variety of construction and home improvement applications to customers globally. The company currently operates facilities in Marshalltown, Iowa; Fayetteville, Arkansas; Bushnell, Illinois; and Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.

“When companies like MARSHALLTOWN, with its robust distribution network, are looking to expand – they look to Kansas,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland noted. “The Kansas Framework for Growth calls for a focus on the distribution, logistics, and transportation sector because of our centralized location, well-maintained infrastructure, and talent pipeline. MARSHALLTOWN is a perfect fit.”

“The Kansas City region’s central location, robust infrastructure and extensive transportation network make it an ideal choice for companies like MARSHALLTOWN looking to optimize their supply chain,” added Elli Bowen, vice president of KC Smartport. “From KC, industrial operations can quickly and efficiently reach their customers across North America and beyond. We’re thrilled to support MARSHALLTOWN’s continued growth and welcome them to our Top 15 logistics hub."
