Altec | St. Joseph, MO Manufacturing Plant

Altec’s first electric utility products, including the original Altec Digger Derrick, were engineered and manufactured in the 1970’s in our St. Joseph Missouri factory. Today, it’s home to Altec’s most diverse and extensive equipment production facility and Altec’s largest manufacturing division. St Joe produces a wide range of equipment, from aerials and digger derricks to backyard products with working heights ranging from 36 to over 100 feet. Every product for each arena Altec serves is designed and tested by the St. Joe based design assurance group to ensure the most reliable, field-tested equipment is delivered to our customers every day. Electronic components for our equipment are assembled at the St Joseph electronics shop. Before each shift, associates test their protective gear to ensure they are ready to work safely. Built for safety training and hands on equipment demonstration, the learning center at St. Joe provides a place for customers to test and learn how to operate their new equipment on de-energized power lines. Located 30 minutes north of Kansas City, St. Joseph offers a small town feel with big-city benefits. The Missouri river creates a beautiful backdrop for the many hiking and biking trails located throughout the community and that is why Altec is proud to call it home.
