Groundbreaking Ceremony Held For New HQ
Mid-Continent Instruments officially broke ground Thursday on a
new 6,200-square-foot addition to the company’s Wichita,
Kansas headquarters. More than 150 employees and guests looked on
as Mid-Continent Instruments President and CEO, Todd Winter, and
dignitaries completed the ceremony. Those in attendance included
elected officials from the City of Wichita, members of the Sedgwick
County and City of Wichita Economic Development offices, Kansas
Department of Commerce and the Greater Wichita Economic Development
Coalition (GWEDC).
“As I look into the crowd, I see the many faces of people
who have worked very hard to build this company — to provide
exceptional customer service, uncompromising quality, continuous
improvement, reliable overhauled instruments and innovative new
instruments,” said Todd Winter, president and CEO.
“This is a great day for Mid-Continent Instruments, the city
of Wichita and the state of Kansas. We feel good about America. We
feel good about aviation and we are all willing to work very hard
to complete our vision of success.”
The Wichita building expansion will allow Mid-Continent
Instruments to grow its new True Blue Power division and
engineering department. The new addition will support the
development of new products for aircraft power management, a newly
identified market segment within the general aviation industry. The
company will add 24 jobs over the next five years including
mechanical, electrical design and certification engineers and bench
technicians.
Mid-Continent Instruments invested $2.7 million for the addition
and the purchase of new machinery and equipment. The company worked
closely with the City of Wichita, Sedgwick County, GWEDC and the
State of Kansas to create an incentive package that assisted in the
completion of the project. Architectural design firm Howard and
Helmer are the architects of record for the expansion. Hutton
Construction will complete the project.
