Interlock Steel Structures has announced an expansion in St. Joseph that will invest $773,000 and create new jobs.

The company’s facility will be expanded to “increase productivity while enhancing quality and innovation” according to a press release from the company.

The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce’s Economic Development team, along with the Missouri Department of Economic Development, are working on the project.

Four new jobs are being created that will pay a wage well above the county average, according to the press release.

Interlock Steel Structures, a family-owned manufacturer, specializes in creating steel frames, trusses and girders for pre-engineered custom buildings and structures. The company produces Team Perka Buildings products, including fencing, railing and gates. The expansion also will allow the company to manufacture its own steel sheeting line.
