GlenMartin, Inc. of Boonville, Missouri will celebrate the grand opening of their newly completed offices and shipping yard today. The completion of the work marks the end of a multi-million dollar investment in machinery and infrastructure.
The newly completed 6,500 square feet office facility and 100,000 square feet shipping yard is intended to help facilitate the operations of its United States and International ventures. The expansion comes as the company was honored with the Governor’s Exporter Award, awarded at the 47th annual Missouri Governor’s Economic Development Conference.
“Our biggest hurdle now is finding qualified professionals who are interested in a dynamic and challenging job,” said Tatum Martin, Vice-President of Operations. “We currently have open positions in engineering, drafting, sales, purchasing, and accounting. We also have a need for bi-lingual individuals, capable of fluently speaking Spanish, who will help manage our operations in Latin America.”
“The most satisfying part of my job is the challenge and the sense of fulfillment GlenMartin nurtures,” said James Tinsley, United States Sales Manager. “Glen Martin is at the pinnacle of technology. I learn something new everyday. Our company policy is to aggressively pursue business; and it’s working. In the last three years, we have doubled sales every year.”
To help new employees excel at their jobs, the company focuses on training.
“We work in a specialized industry,” said Tami Green, Human Resource Manager. “To help our employees understand their jobs and our industry, we provide a week-long training course which gives our employees a head-start.”
The next training course is set to begin on July 14 th, and is open to anyone interested in a professional job with our company. A certification is awarded at the successful completion of the course.
“We love living and working in Boonville,” said Sandra Martin, President of GlenMartin. “Our family has been here for generations. Our sons have graduated from Boonville schools. We are committed to the community.”
GlenMartin, Inc. was originally founded in 1918 by William Christopher Martin as W.C. Martin & Son Machine Shop & Welding, located West of Boonville, near the present day intersection of Highway 135 and Interstate 70. The company engineered, designed, and built machines and appliance parts for various industrial companies located throughout the Mid-West. However, in 1982, the company enlarged its production capabilities and expanded its operations.
GlenMartin has since become well-known internationally for the products and services they provide. Their product line includes roof-top towers, fold-over towers, telescoping towers, self-supporting lattice towers with heights up to 500 feet, and other tower accessories. The various markets they serve include tire disposal, meteorology, and wireless communications. Rapid expansion and development of the cellular communications industry in recent years has produced explosive growth in their operations.
