Marvin opened its newest manufacturing facility at 9820 Leavenworth Road in Kansas City, Kansas. The 400,000-square-foot facility will be a hub for the manufacturing, fabrication and assembly of the company’s fiberglass window and door solutions.
“With production underway at our newest manufacturing facility, Marvin is entering an exciting stage in our development in Kansas City,” says Paul Marvin, CEO of Marvin. “Last year, we collaborated with local leaders to map out a vision for Marvin’s growth in the area and our commitment to the community and its talented workforce. That vision has come to life, and we look forward to seeing it continue to evolve and grow.”
About the new facility
Since beginning construction on the facility last spring, Marvin has hired 70 full-time team members in Kansas City, with hiring to continue in the months ahead. Marvin anticipates a 600-person workforce in Kansas City by the close of 2028.
“Marvin’s choice to expand their business in Kansas City is key in helping our community further establish a promising employment pipeline to attract and retain the next generation of modern manufacturing talent locally,” says Dr. Greg Mosier, Kansas City Kansas Community College President. “Strong employers and economic development go hand in hand. We’ve seen over the past year how Marvin’s dedication to both innovation and employee well-being will support Kansas City’s continued growth, and I look forward to a long-term relationship that helps our graduates and our community thrive.”
“We’re grateful for the warm welcome we’ve received from Wyandotte County, and it’s been incredible to see the talent we’ve cultivated locally in such a short period of time,” says Darrin Peterson, president of Marvin. “The community’s commitment to education and economic development is clear, and I’m energized by the possibilities for our continued collaboration.”
Designed with employee well-being in mind, Marvin’s custom-built facility features details including climate-controlled manufacturing space, exterior patios, LED lighting paired with natural light throughout and electric forklifts for reduced indoor air pollution. The space also offers employee amenities including bright, spacious break rooms with food and beverage options and on-site personal storage.
“Completing this facility on time and on budget would not have been possible without the dedication of our exceptional local build partners. We’re grateful for the collaboration from Scannell Properties, JLL, Finkle + Williams Architecture, Olsson, Kadean Construction and many others,” says Robert Conchola, director of operations for Marvin in Kansas City. “As our space has taken shape, so has our incredible team. Their passion and talent is tangible, and I’m inspired by their drive as we begin production here in Kansas City.”
