The Missouri Department of Economic Development has announced Trinity Technology Group (TTG Inc.), an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) manufacturer located in Higginsville, has announced an investment of $7.25 million to expand its existing 65,000 square-foot manufacturing facility, adding 20 new jobs to Lafayette County with an average wage of $43,500.
A news release says a synthetic material consisting of billions of small pores with numerous applications, ePTFE can be used to make lightweight, waterproof and breathable textiles, medical and automotive filtration devices and other flexible porous products. TTG Inc.’s ePTFE membrane films are utilized in various products that protect from moisture, wind, chemicals and blood-borne pathogens.
Assistance through the state’s Missouri Works program made the project possible, as did the project’s partners, including the Missouri Department of Economic Development and the City of Higginsville.
“The City of Higginsville is pleased that TTG Inc. plans to expand their operation in our community,” said Donna Brown, Economic Development Director for the City of Higginsville. “They have been a part of the community for 10 years, with a proven record of exceptional performance. The new jobs with benefits will have a positive impact in our region, and we appreciate TTG Inc.’s continued investment in the Higginsville community.”
