Advanced Manufacturing in Missouri

2 Advanced Manufacturing in Missouri Missouri is a center for advanced manufacturing excellence, supported by a cost competitive, pro-business and innovative environment, exceptional talent, extensive training programs, access to raw materials, and a globally connected infrastructure. Missouri is a world leader in aerospace and automotive manufacturing, and exports more than $7.2 billion in advanced manufacturing products to more than 190 countries every year. Aerospace Manufacturing The U.S. is the world s largest aerospace producer, and Missouri has a rich history in aviation, especially military aviation. From Charles Lindbergh, to the Mercury space program, to the latest in aerospace innovation by Boeing, Missouri has led the way in every aspect of aviation for nearly 100 years. Today, more than 14,000 of Missouri s highly trained workforce builds the F-22, F/A-18, EA-18, F-15 fighter jets at Boeing s Defense, Space and Security facilities, along with composite parts for the 777X and a huge array of military ordinance. Statewide, Missouri is home to 100 aerospace manufacturing companies. Automotive Manufacturing Across the state, Missouri talent drives automotive manufacturing into the future with significant production from Ford and GM. Missouri s automotive manufacturing plants are strategically located on the North American Automotive Alley that stretches from Toronto to Mexico City, and Missouri s Kansas City area is the second largest automotive trade hub behind Detroit, according to Brookings. In 2017, Missouri produced more than 756,000 vehicles at the Ford and GM plants, advanced military jets for the US and allied militaries, and much more.

14 Missouri Reduces Your Risk and Your Costs Missouri provides you with a solid business foundation, financial and otherwise. In Missouri, taxes and business costs don t eat up all of your company s profits. PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS Income tax allocation SALES/USE TAX EXEMPTIONS An important tax advantage for Missouri businesses is the amount of income considered taxable as only income earned in Missouri is taxed. Two allocation options are offered for calculating this income: (1) the three-factor formula, based on sales, property and payroll or (2) the single-factor formula, based only on sales. Missouri is one of only two states to allow companies to annually select the income allocation formula that results in lower corporate income tax liability. In addition, it is important to note that Missouri has not adopted worldwide or nationwide unitary tax assessment in computing multinational corporate income tax liability. Tax exemptions for manufacturers Manufacturers locating in Missouri enjoy numerous tax advantages, including: Sales/use tax exemption on machinery and equipment used to establish a new or expand an existing facility Property tax exemption for inventories State sales tax & local use tax exemption on energy purchases Our services Missouri is also committed to your growth. We are ready to work with you, statewide, to make the journey from the initial site search to the day you open for business see reduced risk, no pain, and efficient progress through first-class support and site selection assistance. Our team is ready to work with you and provide a concierge service as you consider where your next expansion will be. Benefits like our low business and labor costs, reliable and inexpensive energy, aggressive and performancebased incentives and a statewide commitment to attracting companies and investment, make Missouri a place where your company can come to grow and thrive. Whether it s in six weeks, six months, or six years, we are an expert resource to support you when the time is right to look at Missouri. Certified Sites Missouri s Certified Sites Program also reduces your risk by ensuring there has already been a comprehensive review of items including the availability of utilities, site access, environmental concerns, land use conformance, and potential site development costs. Having a site certified reduces the risk associated with development of particular sites by providing up front and consistent information. Additionally, Missouri s 50+ years of a AAA bond rating is representative of our solid financial acumen and stable financial foundations. Missouri has more than 60 rail served sites of 50+ acres or more and 141 industrial facilities with more than 50,000+ square feet (LocationOne as of 1/19/18).
