Ray Yeager, president and chief executive officer of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based DMI Companies, said the company is making about a $4.5 million investment in the facility at 300 South East 15th St. He said the 200,000-square-foot facility will serve both existing company customers and help it secure new ones in the nation's midsection from South Texas to Chicago and hundreds of miles east and west.
