For more than 30 years, the company has been a steady employer in the area, offering accessible careers with competitive wages, benefits, and ongoing skills training. When supply chain disruptions doubled Malone’s processing time and strained cash flow, investments made in connection with the federal NMTC and Oklahoma Rural Jobs programs provided flexible funding to stabilize the company and support continued operations. As domestic manufacturing becomes increasingly important to national supply chains, Malone’s is expanding capacity, investing in new equipment, and preparing to add new jobs—demonstrating how investing for outcomes can strengthen local economies while reinforcing critical U.S. manufacturing capabilities. ![BakerProducts](https://impactreport.advantagecap.com/hubfs/BakerProducts.png "BakerProducts") BAKER PRODUCTS # Driving Local Growth Where Jobs Matter Most Baker Products is a manufacturer based in rural Ellington, Missouri, producing specialized wood-processing machinery and industrial wood products. The company recently completed an expansion supported by investments through the federal NMTC and Missouri Rural Access to Capital programs, which provided critical funding for a facility buildout, expansion into new product lines, and increased production capacity. Today, Baker employs more than 100 people and continues to grow, serving as a key economic anchor in the region. The company offers competitive wages, health benefits, and retirement access, while also supporting broader economic activity through its relationships with local suppliers and small businesses—demonstrating how strategic investment can foster long-term stability and community growth. - [Home](https://impactreport.advantagecap.com?hsLang=en) - [Small Business](https://impactreport.advantagecap.com/small-business) - [Affordable Housing](https://impactreport.advantagecap.com/affordable-housing?hsLang=en) - [Energy Solutions](https://impactreport.advantagecap.com/energy-solutions?hsLang=en) - [Legal Disclosures](https://impactreport.advantagecap.com/legal?hsLang=en) - [Past Impact Reports](https://impactreport.advantagecap.com/past-reports?hsLang=en) [![Advantage Capital Lockup\_White\_Tag\_Light Grey](https://impactreport.advantagecap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Advantage%20Capital%20Lockup_White_Tag_Light%20Grey.png?width=229&height=75&name=Advantage%20Capital%20Lockup_White_Tag_Light%20Grey.png "Advantage Capital Lockup_White_Tag_Light Grey")](https://www.advantagecap.com/) [mailto:mailto:info@advantagecap.com](mailto:mailto:info@advantagecap.com) © 2026 Advantage Capital.
