The PEDC and city officials began working with IMC Group in early 2015 on the project. The 75,000 square-foot facility, designed by Kajima Building and Design Group, includes office, manufacturing and training space. The facility is located on a 15-acre site on the southeast corner of Kirby Drive and N. Spectrum Boulevard and will be home to approximately 150 employees, including management, engineering, sales, operations and administrative personnel.

We spent a lot of time searching for property and when we drove into Pearland on Kirby Drive, it immediately felt like we were at home.

“The City of Pearland is honored to partner with Tool-Flo on its new facility and to add its name to the growing list of employers who have chosen to call Pearland’s Lower Kirby District home, said Pearland Mayor Tom Reid. “It has been a long-standing goal of the City to develop this area as Pearland’s most intensive mixed-use district and IMC/Tool-Flo’s selection of Pearland is a testament to city’s efforts to create a community with both a business-friendly environment and an outstanding quality of life.”
