Terry Karst officially retired in June after a 40-year manufacturing career and 18 years as President at 3P Processing in Wichita, Kansas.
3P Processing was founded in 2012, but by the time Karst arrived, the facility had already undergone several ownership changes and carried a long history within Wichita’s aerospace community. The operation eventually evolved into 3P Processing, a name inspired by the company’s mission.
The company’s footprint grew to approximately 115,000 square feet, with additional expansion opportunities nearby. More importantly, the facility became a critical supplier to aerospace manufacturers across the industry.
Karst did not begin his career in finishing. He joined Boeing in Wichita in 1986 as an engineer, primarily working in material review and engineering support roles. After earning an MBA, he moved to Honeywell, where he spent nearly a decade in avionics. The move expanded his management responsibilities and prepared him for future leadership roles.
