About Us

The Kansas Association of Ethanol Processors was formed to represent the interests of the ethanol manufacturing industry and its allied businesses in Kansas. The Association has hired Midwest Management Solutions, a professional management staff based in Topeka, KS to administer its programs. 

"With the dramatic growth we are currently experiencing in the ethanol industry both in the state of Kansas and nationally, it has become even more important to improve our network of communication and cooperation.  The sharing of information about operational, safety and technology developments is a significant benefit to our members, and our unified support of legislative initiatives can help Kansas producers be even more competitive on a national scale." - Chris Standlee, 2006 Chairman
