Toronto-based IntraPac Group, a packaging manufacturer for the personal care and pharmaceutical sectors, announced Friday morning that it plans to add 63 jobs in Lawrenceburg by opening a new facility in the southeastern Indiana community.

The company said it will relocate operations from New Jersey to Lawrenceburg and build an 80,000-square-foot facility on seven acres. Construction on the plant began in September and it is expected to be operational in February.

IntraPac has more than 250 employees in North America and plans to begin hiring for manufacturing, clerical and sales positions in Lawrenceburg in December.

The Indiana Economic Development Corp. said it will provide IntraPac up to $415,000 in tax credits and up to $150,000 in training grants based on the company’s job-creation plans.

Founded in 2003, IntraPac designs and produces an array of packaging products, including plastic bottles, laminate and tin tubes, deodorant sticks, droppers and specialty coating services.

It also has locations in Virginia and New York, as well as in Costa Rica.

  1. something to take iman's mind off CART,,,the league itsownself doesn't do it

  2. Someone mentioned a green roof. Every designer of a new urban building should be required to at least explore the feasibility of a green roof. The ability to cut carbon dioxide, save precious rainwater (drought this summer??) and re-use grey water, cool the building cheaper, and improve the view for neighbors, should be, not only the good neighbor thing to do, it should be the responsible neighbor thing to do. Too bad the city didn't require it when they gave up downtown green space for the Simon Building. Surprised they aren't requiring it now.

  3. About the same means down, like the TV ratings.

    My favorite tradition that needs to be brought back is the 25/8 rule.

  4. Your stats are incorrect. The 85k Government employees working in Marion County includes all government workers in Marion county. That is state, federal, non profit agencies, city and county. The stats the article list is the number of employees for all of the city/county employees and it is correct. That number includes the library, airport, convention center, and so on. The policy of extending benefits to domestic partners is consistent with private sector companies of the same size. Isn't the mantra of most conservatives "run the government like a business."

    Also, too say the "fiscal proposil is huge" without considering the actuarial factors involved is a bit of an overstatement. We really don't know if it is huge or not. If all of the people added to the plan are healthy and don't have claims then it could bring cost done or hold them neutral.

  5. There are 85,346 government employees in Marion county according to Stats Indiana.

    My understanding is that this proposal covers not only same sex partners and children, but opposite same sex partners who are not married and any kids.

    It also covers all city and county employees, plus municipal corporations which use city/county benefits packages including Health and Hospital Corporation (Wishard), Indianapolis Airport Authority, Indianapolis Convention Center,Lucas Oil,Bankers Life, Indianapolis Marion County Library, and Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation (IndyGo).

    Certainly Indianapolis Public Schools will also want more benefits also.

    The fiscal cost on this proposal is huge.
