Adrian Steel chooses Kansas City for Advanced Auto Manufacturing Facility



The Kansas City Area Development Council (KCADC) has announced that Adrian Steel, a Michigan-based manufacturer of commercial van and truck equipment, is expanding to Kansas City to supply parts for the Ford Motor Company. Adrian Steel will lease 11 acres for a new 32,000 sq. ft. facility and eight-acre logistics center at the Hunt Midwest Business Center, creating 39 new jobs. The company will invest $4.7 million in its new facility and expects to be operational by September of 2013.

As an authorized Ford QVM (Qualified Vehicle Modifier), Adrian will install interiors - including trade packages, shelving, partitions and other cargo management solutions - for the new Ford TRANSIT commercial van scheduled to be built at Ford's Kansas City Assembly Plant as part of a $1.1 billion investment.

"The Kansas City region proved to be an ideal location for our newest Adrian Steel operation," said Bob Browns, General Manager, Adrian Steel. "We are very proud of our ongoing relationship with Ford Motor Company and look forward to contributing to the future of the Ford TRANSIT."

"The continued investment from auto manufacturing giants, including Ford and GM, makes the KC region a very attractive location for suppliers to the auto industry," said Bob Marcusse, President and CEO of the KCADC. KCADC is the umbrella economic development organization in the Kansas City area and provides free relocation services to companies evaluating the KC region.
