creating 111 jobs by 2014, state economic development leaders said Tuesday evening.
Industrial Steering Products
will grow its Steuben County production operations by forming a new business, Triton Metal Products. The company, which makes
parts for the heavy truck, medical, military and motor home industries, plans to invest $4.8 million to expand an existing
93,000 square-foot building.
Formed in 1982 from a division of General Motors, Industrial Steering Products will
continue to produce steering components for industrial vehicles, motor homes and heavy trucks. Its Triton Metal Products subsidiary
will be a full-service machining and fabricating provider.
A woman-owned small business enterprise, Triton already
has hired additional manufacturing and engineering workers to help with the Hamilton expansion.
The Indiana Economic
Development Corporation offered Triton up to $620,000 in performance-based tax credits and up to $50,000 in training grants
based on the company’s job creation plans. The town of Hamilton will consider additional property tax abatement on machinery
and building improvements.
