Frozen Food Express Transportation Services, a nationwide temperature-controlled transportation and warehousing provider, is expanding its business with a new transportation facility in Butler, Missouri. The company is investing nearly $6 million and creating nearly 100 new jobs in the region.
“Missouri’s central location and business-friendly environment is a leading destination for transportation and logistics companies like this one, and we are excited to welcome FFE Transportation to Missouri,” said Gov. Mike Parson. “FFE is bringing good-paying jobs and economic opportunities to Missourians in this rural community. We look forward to working together as FFE finds success and grows within our state.”
FFE Transportation utilizes industry-leading equipment and technology to provide a variety of service offerings to its customers. The company selected Butler for its newest transportation and logistics facility due to its robust workforce and friendly business climate. The good paying jobs created by this new facility will have a significant impact in the area and, on average, will pay well above the county’s average wage.
“We are very excited about expanding our operation into the Butler region,” said Jim Richards, president and CEO of FFE Transportation. “We look forward to working closely with the community and being a great partner.”
For the expansion, FFE Transportation Services used the Missouri Works program, an incentive tool to help companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation. The company is also partnering with Missouri One Start to provide tailored recruitment assistance to meet the company’s specific workforce needs. Missouri One Start’s professional training network ensures companies have the right workforce with the right skillset when they need it.
