WICHITA, Kan – INVISTA, a subsidiary of Koch Industries, has announced that they will establish a new manufacturing operation in McPherson, in order to expand production of its Raptor nylon pipe product.
The company plans to complete conversion of an existing building in McPherson into a nylon pipe extrusion facility and expects to begin production by early spring.
The product was engineered to reduce total job completion costs in order to get oil and gas flowing faster to market. Company officials say in some cases, the nylon pipe can provide up to $25,000 per mile in cost savings for customers.
