Ruskin invests $2.2M to expand Missouri R&D lab

Ruskin executives break ground on the expansion.

Ruskin has doubled the size of its Grandview, MO research and development lab in a $2.2 million expansion.

More than 100,000 square feet was added to the space. The expansion focused on new product innovation, testing standards and cost-saving improvements for louvres, control dampers, life safety dampers, sound control and air measurement technologies.

“Our goal is to accelerate speed to market with improved testing capabilities and resources in a certified AMCA/UL facility,” said Brian Poe, director of engineering and product development for Ruskin.

The facility was completed in December 2018. www.ruskin.com
