Ruskin has doubled the size of its research and development center in Grandview, MO, at a cost of $2.2 million, the company said last week.
The expansion will allow new product innovation, testing standards and cost-saving improvements for louvers, control dampers, life safety dampers, sound control and air measurement technologies, the company said.
The expansion includes critical laboratory equipment for AMCA 500-L protocols, including wind-driven rain, water penetration, pressure drop, thermal shock and impact – helping lead today’s and tomorrow’s building codes. The new addition is expected to wrap up by the end of December.
“The additional testing equipment will help Ruskin drive its future with the best product designs and innovations, offering the greatest value to customers around the world.” said Brian Poe, director, engineering and product development for Ruskin.
