Marvin has selected Kanas City, Kansas, as the future home of its latest manufacturing facility.

Marvin has begun earthwork for the 400,000-square-foot facility in the Scannell 435 Logistics Center at 9822 Leavenworth Road in Wyandotte County, in partnership with Scannell Properties, JLL, Finkle + Williams Architecture, Olsson and Kadean Construction. 

Upon completion in 2025, Marvin anticipates employing approximately 100 team members in full-time positions across manufacturing, fabrication and assembly of the company’s industry-leading fiberglass window and door solutions. With progressive annual growth, Marvin expects to employ a 600-person workforce in Kansas City by 2028.

“Marvin has been on a significant growth trajectory over the past 6 years,” said Marvin CEO and Chair of the Board Paul Marvin. “Investing in additional facilities are not only strategic for continued growth but will also help meet current and anticipated short-term demand in the marketplace.”

Marvin ranks #15 in the FDMC 300 list of top North American wood products manufacturers with $1.6 billion in sales.

Marvin conducted an extensive search across multiple states before selecting Kansas City, Kansas, for this development. A strong workforce, state and local commitment to education, a collaborative approach to economic development and compatibility all contributed to Marvin’s final selection.

With its expansion to Kansas City, Marvin will operate in 17 cities across North America, including its 2 million-square-foot campus in the company’s founding headquarters of Warroad, Minnesota.

“Kansas fought hard to win Marvin’s new production facility because we value their reputation for building industry-leading products and treating their workers well, and because they align with Kansas’ strengths in advanced manufacturing and distribution,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “We will continue pursuing companies such as Marvin that are finding success in the target sectors outlined in our state’s economic development strategic plan—the Kansas Framework for Growth.”
