Martin Energy Group on Wednesday stated it will spend $1.7 million to expand in Tipton, with 225 new jobs on the way, according to a press release from the Missouri Department of Economic Development.

“Martin Energy Group’s expansion is yet another example of our state’s ability to support business growth,” Gov. Mike Parson said in the release. “This leading company’s investment and job creation is a welcome result of our low costs, strong infrastructure, and skilled workforce. We congratulate Martin Energy Group on its success as it continues to grow and benefit Missourians in Tipton and beyond.”

The company – which is headquartered in Tipton — supplies and services power generation products, including generator sets, switchgear, gas handling skids, boilers, waste heat recovery systems, absorption chilling systems, carbon credit monitoring systems and more, the release says.

The release says Martin Energy Group will benefit from the Missouri Works program.
