Seymour Tubing plans to hire 22 pas part of a previously-announced $2.4 million expansion.
For the 3rd time in a month, a local industry has planned new jobs for Jackson County, Indiana.
Seymour Tubing, Inc. announced plans Wednesday (Aug. 20) to add 22 jobs by 2015 as part of their $2.4 million expansion of its facility at the East Side Industrial Park.
The automotive steel tubing company’s news is the latest in a string of new investment locally.
Earlier this month, Aisin Chemical Indiana said it would hire 100 new employees by 2017 after breaking ground on a 100,000 square foot facility in Crothersville, IN.
Aisin Drivetrain (also in Crothersville) announced it had hiring and expansion plans.
In July, Oregon-based Trellis Earth Products, Inc. projected employing 61 people in Seymour, IN by year’s end, and expects to add additional employees in later phases of the project.
All of those projects signal positive news for Jackson County’s economy, said Jim Plump, executive director of the Jackson County Industrial Development Corporation. “It’s just a continuation of what we have seen in the last couple years,” he said.
Seymour Tubing said it would bring in new high-speed cutting equipment and additional processing by December. The company has already doubled a goal set in 2012 to create 18 new jobs by this year.
