Growing Industry


DeSoto’s superb location; competitive land prices; beautiful and developed business park; an ethnically diverse, educated and skilled workforce; and pro-business attitude offer a bright future for new, relocating and expanding businesses. Strategically located in the DFW Metroplex at the crossroads of I-20, I-35E and SH 67, less than 20 minutes south of downtown Dallas and 30 miles from DFW International Airport, this city offers companies a strong foundation on which to flourish.

DeSoto still has land available for industrial and commercial development in the Eagle Industrial and Business Park. This area is home to leading companies such as Kohls Fulfilment Center, Walmart Distribution Center, Solar Turbines, ZEP Manufacturing, DIAB, Inc., Kauffman Tire, DW Distribution, Trybus, Sew Eurodrive and Kohler Company.

The DeSoto Economic Development Corporation is funded by economic development sales tax revenue and exists to promote the growth and attraction of businesses that enhance the level of employment, the economic base and the quality of life for all citizens. To achieve these goals, the DEDC works hard to support and attract new and expanding companies and creatively customizes incentive packages based on individual business needs.
