Hantover Inc. and its subsidiary, ARY Inc., are moving from Kansas
City to Overland Park, bringing 91 employees and the promise of an
additional 39 jobs over the next five years.
The company, a
distributor for the food processing and general manufacturing
industries, is investing $3.3 million in its new offices at 5200 W.
110th St., according to an announcement Friday by the Overland Park
Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Council. It had been at 10301
Hickman Mills Drive.
“We are pleased to become corporate citizens
of Overland Park considering the quality of life available for our staff
and economic opportunity for our company,” Bernard Huff, president of
Hantover, said in a statement.
Hantover received incentives from the state of Kansas as part of its move, but state officials declined to provide details.
“We
did give incentives, but until the time the contracts are signed
they’re not public,” said Dan Lara, spokesman for the Kansas Department
of Commerce.
The company was founded in 1939 as a distributor of
production supplies to the food industry. It has 10 distribution centers
across North America and works with 2,000 vendors and 40,000 customers,
according to the Overland Park Chamber of Commerce Economic Development
Council.
