Worth knowing in Kansas
Southwest Kansas beef plants around Dodge City, Liberal and Garden City are among the biggest in the country, and their case demand is steady all year. Wichita's aircraft and aerospace suppliers need larger, heavier packaging for parts that must not be scratched, often with foam or corrugated inserts. Both kinds of buyer usually send a specification rather than asking us to choose.
Topeka pet-food makers and Lenexa and Olathe distributors add cases and stock cartons to the mix. Wichita, for its part, has a strong general manufacturing base beyond aircraft: HVAC, agricultural equipment and plastics.
