Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (ADS) hosted a grand opening event for its new manufacturing plant in Harrisonville, MO, on Aug. 9.

Located approximately 40 miles south of Kansas City, MO, the 35-acre facility boasts approximately 50 employees and produces a wide range of ADS products, including ADS N-12 high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and the company’s line of HP polypropylene pipe.
