The company, which produces glass and crystal awards, beverageware, trophies and desk accessories, plans to invest more than $4.18 million to purchase and equip a 90,000-square-foot facility on the northeast side of the city, it said.

Founded in 1999, St. Regis International also operates crystal decorating and distribution company Etching Industries Corp.
The Indiana Economic Development Corp. offered St. Regis Crystal up to $200,000 in performance-based tax credits and up to $35,000 in training grants based on the company's job-creation plans. The city of Indianapolis granted additional property-tax abatement.
