LIBERTY, Mo. — TAB, a manufacturer of industrial batteries, announced it will open a United States headquarters in Liberty.
The company’s new location is its first in North America and will allow it to quickly distribute products throughout North and South America. The new 66,700-square-foot facility will create 50 new jobs.

“We have created a pro-business environment that provides stability for businesses as they enter the U.S. market or expand within it. Missouri stands ready to support the growth and success of TAB USA as it embarks on this exciting journey from its new U.S. headquarters.
