As one of the most recognized names in Iowa for industrial and mission critical automation, Baker Group announced today that it will be expanding its reach to Kansas and Missouri with the opening of an office in Kansas City. Operations from the new office located at 1604 N Topping Ave in Kansas City, Missouri.

“This is a big step for us,” says Jarod Stockel, Baker Group Automation Vice President. “While we are headquartered in Iowa, we are committed to following good clients anywhere and in doing so, we have seen more and more work coming from the Kansas City metro. It made sense to us to establish a physical presence there so we can more efficiently serve the region’s growing industrial base, especially data centers and mission critical facilities.”

Automation has found its way into nearly every industry—from specialized manufacturing to health care. In today’s industrial, data center and mission critical environments, investments in automation have been shown to drive efficiency and profits.

“We have decades of experience in planning, building, and implementing industrial automation solutions,” Stockel says. “No matter the industry or output, our industrial automation services can bring a new level of efficiency to assist as businesses scale in a meaningful way.”

Baker Group’s wide range of Industrial Automation services include:

• Systems Integration
• Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
• Process Control and Instrumentation
• Digitization and Industry 4.0
• UL Panel Shop

In addition to this expertise, Baker Group has significant experience serving organizations that are early adopters, those who put a premium on reliability and efficiency, and those who recognize the value of working with an industry leader. 

“Our team has vast experience in developing new systems and modifying existing systems in manufacturing, agriculture, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and research industries,” Stockel says. “In addition, our team is versed in meeting a variety of safety and operational standards, even in hazardous environments.”

The new shop expands Baker Group locations to five. Other offices—all in Iowa—include its headquarters in Ankeny, and locations in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Davenport.
