Business described as ‘hidden gem’ to expand in small McLean County city

Group Tool Inc. will move to a new 100,000-square-foot facility on Wirtz Way in Lexington to expand operations.
Construction on the new facility is expected to start soon as the company relocates from Spencer Street.
Group Tool is owned by Pioneer Plastics and has operated in Lexington since 1985.
Mayor Spencer Johansen called the expansion a sign of the company’s long-term commitment to the community.
The move aims to meet increasing demand and strengthen advanced manufacturing in the region.
Group Tool will hire about 20 additional workers beyond its current staff of around 40.
The expansion is tied to the parent company Pioneer Plastics, which has locations in Minnesota and China.
Lexington’s mayor highlighted Group Tool as a hidden gem.
The announcement was shared with residents via 25News Now and streaming platforms.
The project will create skilled jobs and strengthen the local economy in McLean County.
