New distribution center for Marshalltown tools to create dozens of jobs in Wyandotte County

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (KCTV) – A tool supplier for major brands like Lowe’s and Home Depot will construct a $27 million distribution center in the Kansas City area.

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly announced on Friday morning that Marshalltown Tools will place its new 200,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in the Scannell Properties’ 435 Logistics Park. The move is expected to create 40 new jobs.

“My administration continues to attract economic development projects that will create a significant number of new jobs,” Kelly said. “Marshalltown’s investment in the state reflects the work we are doing to make Kansas the best place to live, work, and raise a family.”

The new facility will act as the company’s satellite location and will include warehouse space and distribution, according to a release.
