SARASOTA, FL
Boar’s Head Meats is building a 150,000-square foot new premium delicatessen product manufacturing and research facility in New Castle, Indiana.
"Boar's Head will build a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in New Castle, and we would like to thank Henry County and the state of Indiana for their support in making this possible," said Michael Martella, President of Boar's Head Brand. "We look forward to the beginning of a long-term cooperative business partnership with the state of Indiana. The state offers many opportunities including a low-tax climate and an experienced workforce that create an ideal business environment for our company."
Corey Murphy, Economic Development Corporation President, announced that this new plant includes an initial investment of $80 million and will create at least 200 jobs by 2018.
The company plans to begin hiring management associates next year and expects the facility to be operational by spring 2016, according to a press release.
With more than 15 cities competing for the plant, Boar’s Head chose New Castle because of its location on the I-70 corridor between Terre Haute, IN and Columbus, OH.
"Today's announcement by Boar's Head Brand to open a new facility in Indiana and put hundreds of Hoosiers to work demonstrates the confidence that companies have in our workforce," said Governor Mike Pence. "Our low-cost business environment continues to move Indiana to the top of the list when it’s time for companies to choose where best to grow their business."
Other considerations for this location include highway accessibility, labor costs, occupancy or construction costs, corporate tax rates and much more.
