Testimonials & Accolades

There is a lot of talent. There are really good schools here, so we have not had a hard time finding talent.

The region’s skilled talent, vibrant technology ecosystem and strong commitment to collaboration between government, civic, business, academic and community partners made St. Louis the ideal location for our new Advanced Technology Center.

We’ve been very, very excited about the level of talent we were able to find. There were so many quality candidates that we interviewed.

I have absolutely zero regrets of beginning this process and finishing this process in Kansas City, Missouri. This was a competitive process. There were 136 expressions of interest when we began this. It’s like athletics today, you have to have a good field house to attract the recruits you need. By having this kind of place, being where it is, is going to be a big recruitment tool for us

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the diverse workforce we’ve been able to attract and retain in St. Louis. We’ve felt very supported here as we’ve continued to grow.

We are pleased to be expanding into Kansas City, a vibrant community made up of thousands of small businesses, tech start-ups, and top-notch health care. A diverse, highly-educated workforce, an affordable cost of living and numerous cultural amenities make Kansas City a very desirable place to live and work.

We chose Kansas City not just because of the location, but also because of the community and the many talented people. We will be here for a very long time and couldn’t have picked a better spot.

A robust experienced talent pool made O’Fallon, Missouri, the perfect location for our expansion. Opening an operation center in Missouri was the next logical step in making sure we can exceed our clients’ expectations every day.

The State of Missouri and its leadership exceeded our expectations. As a rural Missouri native, I was beyond excited to call Missouri home once again when our shareholders unanimously chose the Show-Me State. With such talent and innovation in the agricultural space, we believe Missouri is the right fit to help Palindromes advance its vision of correcting markets, redefining value, improving farmers’ profit margins, and increasing the tax base for our rural communities at a time when they are most in need.

Square is proud to be from St. Louis and thrilled to expand our presence here, where we’ve exceeded our growth expectations thanks to the wealth of local talent. St. Louis is home to tens of thousands of Square sellers and we’re thankful for the support of our city and state partners in furthering their growth. We’re excited for what’s ahead.

Missouri is perfectly positioned at the intersection of the east-west and north-south shipping corridors. We can ship products anywhere in the US in a couple of days and eliminate a lot of waste in rent and taxes. This strategic location and cost savings will allow us to innovate, invest in our people and increase our competitiveness in the marketplace.

Faurecia is proud to open this new site and to provide new opportunities for local jobseekers. Kansas City Metro and the Blue Springs area are known for being a source of excellence in American manufacturing and we’re looking forward to building on that expertise and skill set as we continue to provide the very best to our customers.

This rebar micro-mill project is consistent with our long-term strategy for profitable growth and builds on our position as the low-cost producer. Strategically positioning this micro-mill in Sedalia will give us a sustained cost advantage over other domestic steel producers supplying rebar from outside the region.

Kansas City is the ideal location for our punched grid manufacturing center of excellence given its proximity to key Exide customers and our existing manufacturing facilities as well as access to an experienced local workforce.

The new production facility in Joplin will drastically scale up production to several thousand batteries per month, enabling us to keep pace with growing demand while also refining manufacturing processes and accelerating development efforts. The end result will be a turnkey engineering package we can deliver to manufacturers with customer demand already built into the equation.

One Call utilizes clinical oversight to help create better outcomes for employers and injured workers, so making sure we can hire and train candidates in Springfield who can provide this kind of specialized service was critical to our decision. Finding an available ‘plug and play’ building in Springfield meant we could fast track our new service center for our customers.

This move to Missouri is a well thought through strategy where all the benefits for all counterparts are optimized. The local authorities have been very easy to work with to help develop this project.

The team loves the downtown location and the opportunity it provides. This area is rich with innovation and AutoAlert is excited to be added to the mix. AutoAlert is raising the bar to bring high paying tech jobs right to the heart of Kansas City and the Silicon Prairie.

Our meetings with representatives of Missouri and Gov. Greitens demonstrated that they are business-friendly and understand what we need as a company to be successful.

We have been very impressed with the business-friendly approach that the State of Missouri, Johnson County and the City of Warrensburg have provided. This project demonstrates our commitment to western Missouri by creating hundreds of jobs in the region. We are proud to become a bigger part of the local community.

The decision to build our second milk plant in Columbia culminates several years of research and diligence to determine the optimal location for a new processing operation. Columbia was the best choice because it offers a location that expands and improves the efficiency of our total supply chain, from organic feed, to milk, to consumer. Central Missouri also offers a great workforce and attractive access to major interstate highways. We are excited to break ground on our new facility later this spring.

The central location with improved transportation access from the I-44 corridor and intermodal rail connections in St. Louis and Kansas City will allow us to quickly connect with our customers across the country. Here, we have found an excellent regional manufacturing workforce and a competitive business climate overall, which factored into the final decision to locate to Rolla.

Missouri as the ‘Heartland’ of American agriculture is the natural U.S. home for NRGene. Our strong partnership with the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center brought us to St. Louis, and GlobalSTL convinced us to stay.

Over nine decades, our employees in St. Louis have played a crucial role in the growth of our firm, from both a local and global perspective.
