Executive Vice President of CK Supply Brad Dunn, President of Miller Stauch Construction Duane Dean, and City of Riverside, Missouri Mayor Kathy Rose, expressed excitement over the company’s new facility, set to become a central hub for the Kansas City region. “We are thrilled to expand our footprint here in Riverside,” said Dunn. “This strategic move aligns with our mission to better serve our community, customers, and employee-owners by enhancing our operational capacity and creating new jobs.” This expansion is due in part by two other recent milestones for CK Supply including the 2023 Acquisition of Welds Supply Inc. and a 2021 Employee Ownership Stock Plan transition. “Our goal is to represent Riverside well and be active community stewards,” Dunn added. Mayor Kathy Rose highlighted the shared history and values between Riverside and CK Supply, celebrating the mutual growth and transformation of both the company and the city. “This project represents not just an investment in infrastructure but a commitment to the people and the future of Riverside,” said Rose. The Riverside expansion reflects CK Supply’s longstanding commitment to community stewardship and local economic growth. The new facility, designed to serve a 200-mile radius, will help the company meet growing demand while offering exceptional service. During construction, CK Supply will remain open and operating out of its existing facility and is actively welcoming new customers looking for a strong partnership when it comes to compressed gases, welding equipment, and dry ice. CK Supply is the largest independent supplier of industrial gases, welding, and cutting equipment in the Midwest. With six retail locations across Missouri and Illinois, CK Supply combines products, services, and technical support to meet customer expectations. Since 1948, CK has been a trusted provider of welding products, gases, dry ice, and services, aspiring to be the definitive source of metalworking and gas-related solutions, while treating partners with integrity. CK invites all to “Discover the Difference” in working with us.
