Terramac Hosts AEM’s Manufacturing Express
St, Louis, MO – Terramac was honored to be selected as one of 80 facilities on the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) 2024 Manufacturing Express Bus Tour as they traveled across the country. This visit showcases Terramac as an influential leader in the industry.
Earlier this month during the event in St. Louis, MO, attendees enjoyed a tour of the 100,000 sq-ft. manufacturing facility and had the opportunity to meet the dedicated team behind the innovative product. Employees gathered to celebrate their milestone achievements since opening the facility in 2023. Mike Kehoe, Lieutenant Governor of Missouri, was in attendance to share his support of American manufacturing.
”The journey to open this facility has been both challenging and rewarding and it’s an honor to host you as we celebrate not only the spirit of manufacturing but also the contributions we’ve made to our industry, the local community and the national economy,” said J.J. Costello, co-CEO of CK Family of Companies.
The AEM Manufacturing Express highlights the 2.3 million men and women dedicated to the equipment manufacturing industry on a 10,000-mile tour across America. The people in this industry create the equipment that builds, powers, and feeds the world, serving as the economic backbone of their communities.
“Our new assembly facility represents not only the hard work of our team but also our dedication to staying at the forefront of manufacturing excellence. Being chosen as a stop on the AEM tour was a true honor, and we enjoyed sharing our story and vision for the future with tour attendees. We need to continue advocating for manufacturing because it drives our local economy and keeps America moving. Thank you, St. Louis, for standing with us in this effort,” said JJ Costello, Co-CEO for CK Family of Companies.
CK Family of Companies, the parent company of six divisions, is proud to show their commitment to the industry through the AEM membership of CK Power, Hayes and Terramac. Each division brings unique products and services, yet shares the same dedication to innovation, quality and support. Together, the team strives to meet the highest standards for their customers.
As devoted St. Louis natives the Costello family is proud and humbled to bring growth and development to the North side by adding more local manufacturing jobs to the community that’s shaped who they are. Across the CK Family of Companies there are 4 manufacturing sites, 2 of which are in St. Louis, MO.
This incredible opportunity allowed the team to showcase not only the exceptional products built locally but also the heart of the company—the passion of the people. It was an exciting event to share the new facility, display innovative equipment and meet the team that powers the operation every day.
