Indiana Packers will be expanding its operations in Delphi, creating up to 91 new jobs by 2016. Governor Mike Pence joined executives from Mitsubishi Corporation and its subsidiary, Indiana Packers Corporation, in Tokyo yesterday for the announcement.
The company will invest more than 40 million dollars to expand its operations in Delphi. Indiana Packers processes pork and bacon for the US, Japan and Mexico.
Indiana Packers is one of Mitsubishi Corporation’s three investments in the Hoosier State, where Japanese companies employ more than 52,000 Hoosiers.
Indiana Packers, which currently has more than 2,000 full-time employees across its two Indiana operations in Delphi and Frankfort, plans to begin hiring for production line positions immediately. Interested candidates may apply online at www.inpac.com via the employment tab.
Founded in 1991, Indiana Packers produces 3.5 million pounds of fresh pork daily.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Indiana Packers Corporation up to $475,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $28,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. These incentives are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.
Agriculture in Indiana is a large and diverse industry, supporting more than 245,000 Hoosier jobs. Indiana sales in agriculture top $11.2 billion annually, which places the state among the top 10 states for agriculture in the nation, according to the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.
