Keymark Corp. of Florida, a custom aluminum parts manufacturer, will receive $400,000 from the city’s new Economic Development Infrastructure Incentive to expand its facilities in Polk County. 

Keymark employs about 340 people at its Lakeland facility off Knights Station Road. Joe Crenna, Keymark’s vice president and general manager, said the company was looking to relocate and expand in Central Florida. The Ruthvens were able to help Keymark identify a 76,000-square-foot facility to build a painting facility where it will add 25 new jobs. 

Crenna said while the new site initially would be for painting only, it could expand to house extrusion presses in the future and another 100 to 150 jobs. Crenna said the company’s jobs generally start at a rate of $17 an hour and it prides itself on promoting managers and leadership from within.

Lakeland commissioners approved a $400,000 incentive for Keymark under the city’s Economic Development Infrastructure Incentive Program. The program aims to provide financial assistance to companies with extending or relocating electric or water utilities in order to expand operations. It was created in 2019, but Keymark is among the first two eligible recipients.

Keymark Corp. of Florida, a custom aluminum parts manufacturer, will receive $400,000 from Lakeland's new Economic Development Infrastructure Incentive to expand its facilities in Polk County. It currently occupies an industrial building off Knights Station Road.
