Cnano Technology USA, Inc. announced Wednesday plans to invest $94.7 million in a 333,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at the Commerce Center, bringing 112 jobs to the facility and $7.1 million in payroll.

The new facility will produce a liquid conductive paste, a component used for electronic applications, including batteries for electric vehicles, cell phones, and power tools, scoring to a press release from Kansas City Area Development Council.

Located in a Class-A spec building in the New Century Commerce Center, the Johnson County location is a multimodal industrial center offering direct access to air, rail and interstate transportation over 2,700 acres.

“Cnano Technology is incredibly excited to partner with Johnson County to build out a new U.S. facility to manufacture conductive and structural additive products for the lithium-ion battery, rubber and polymer, and composite markets,” president of Cnano Technology USA, Inc., Shawn Montgomery said. “We’re proud to bring cutting-edge technology, investment dollars and, most importantly, jobs to the region.”
