(AP) — Pet food manufacturer Crosswind plans to move from Parkville, Mo., to Topeka.
Crosswind president and CEO Doug Kinsinger told business officials Thursday that the move would create 62 jobs in Topeka.
Crosswind’s pet food division produces foods and treats for generic and name brands. The company plans to spend about $4 million to convert a vacant Topeka building for its use.
Crosswind Petfoods, Inc. is the largest pet food and treat contract manufacturer in North America with 130,000 square feet of manufacturing real estate.
