St. Louis, MO — MSI, the leading supplier of premium surfaces in North America, cut the ribbon on its new showroom and distribution center in St. Louis, Missouri. The company plans to invest more than $3 million in the facility and add 18 jobs over the next five years.

“As the Gateway to the West, St. Louis and the bi-state region play an integral role in the economy,” said Raj Shah, President, MSI. “MSI is proud to offer our surfacing products to this growing region and looks forward to becoming a contributing member of the community.”
“St. Louis County is a great place to showcase a business, and MSI’s showroom and distribution center will be a great addition to our region,” said County Executive Dr. Sam Page. “Welcome!”
“MSI’s decision to invest in St. Louis indicates the value of our region,” said Steve Johnson, Chief Business Attraction Officer, Greater St. Louis, Inc., and President, AllianceSTL. “Their presence here will bolster a variety of industries, including construction, remodeling and warehousing, and our local talent and central location will help establish their brand in a new market — all while adding good quality jobs.”
