Bayer Crop Science plans $42.7M expansion for KC plant
Bayer Crop Science LP is planning a $42.7 million expansion of its Kansas City manufacturing facility that would include city assistance in financing $25 million in new machinery that would produce a plant fungicide called fluopyram.
The initial expansion would be complete in 2019, according to Bayer.
“This investment strengthens the site’s capability and role as a world-class facility within the Bayer production network and helps to sustain employment at today’s level of approximately 600 full-time employees and 150 contract associates,” Greg Coffey, deputy director of communications for Bayer U.S., said in a statement.
