ThyssenKrupp Shuts Down Grandview Facility

This week, ThyssenKrupp Access CEO Scot Zoetway announced the closing of the Grandview, Missouri facility of ThyssenKrupp Access. As a former employee of American Stair-Glide and Access Industries it is disappointing for me to see such a solid manufacturer close its doors.

We and the Kauffman family invested deeply in developing a great Missouri company. It is disappointing to see it leave the KC Market, but based on its poor performance in the market it is understandable. My best wishes to all the people who kept trying to turn things around, but kept running into road blocks to success.  I wish them well in finding new jobs in this poor economy.
