The Star Tribune notes the manufacturer toured 40 prospective factories throughout the U.S. before picking a former door and lumber plant in St. Cloud's Airport Industrial Park.

Mayor Dave Kleis tells Fox 9, the facility will create 100 jobs initially, with the potential of growing to 500 jobs. Applications are already being accepted online.
