KS Industries Announces Rocky Mountain Regional Office in Platteville, Colorado
Platteville, CO, December 5, 2024 – NAI Affinity, a leading real estate firm specializing in commercial properties, is pleased to announce the acquisition of an industrial property located at 804 Grand Avenue in Platteville, Weld County, Colorado, on behalf of KS Industries. The Bakersfield-based engineering and fabrication service provider will open their Rocky Mountain Regional office on this 7.49± acre site, which features approximately 27,000 square feet of industrial space and substantial yard area. KS Industries serves diverse sectors including upstream oil and gas production, natural gas treating and transportation, refining, co-generation, heavy industrial markets, and pipeline infrastructure. KS Industries is undergoing property renovations with completion expected in February 2025.
“Our move to Platteville represents a significant milestone for KS Industries,” said Kevin Small, Owner. “This location offers us unparalleled access to key energy markets and provides an excellent foundation for our continued growth.”
This strategic move positions KS Industries in the heart of Colorado’s most productive energy region. Weld County leads the state in oil and gas production, accounting for 83% of crude oil and 56% of natural gas production in Colorado, according to Weld County’s Oil and Gas Energy Department. This new facility will create approximately 50 – 100 new jobs in Weld County, further strengthening the local economy and supporting the region’s robust industrial ecosystem.
Remarking on KS Industries’ investment in Colorado, Audrey Herbison, Director of Economic Development at Upstate Colorado Economic Development, shared, “We are excited to welcome KS Industries as they establish their new regional location in Platteville and Weld County. Through our regional partnerships, we are able to support the attraction of high caliber companies like this which contribute to economic growth. The jobs created at the new facility will support residents across the region. Investing in rural communities is the spirit of the energy industry and supply chain, and we are eager to see KS Industries’ success and growth in Weld County.”
Likewise, “The Town of Platteville is pleased to welcome KS Industries to our community and is looking forward to having a positive working relationship as they make Platteville their new regional headquarters. KS Industries has already made significant improvements to the newly acquired property and will provide long-term employment opportunities that will support our local energy production and overall economy. The investment that KS Industries is making in Platteville is greatly appreciated, and the company is a good overall fit for our community,” commented Troy Renken, Platteville Town Manager.
“In addition to the availability of the real estate, the responsiveness, information, and cooperation provided by the Town of Platteville and Upstate Colorado Economic Development played a key role in this transaction,” noted Ryan Schaefer, CEO of NAI Affinity. “Weld County is open for business, and we are grateful for the jobs and investment that KS Industries is bringing to Northern Colorado.”
NAI Affinity would like to thank all parties involved in the transaction, including Audrey Herbison with Upstate Colorado Economic Development and Troy Renken of The Town of Platteville, for their contributions to the site selection and successful acquisition of 804 Grand Avenue.
