Automotive Climate Control Offered Incentives for Expansion in Elkhart

From the Elkhart Truth:

Automotive Climate Control, Inc., has secured a pair of incentive packages from both Elkhart County and the state of Indiana to help with an expansion of its local headquarters.

The company, which supplies components to the automotive and specialty vehicle industries, plans to invest $4.99 million to purchase metal fabrication equipment for its 75,000-square-foot facility at 22428 Elkhart East Boulevard.

Also, ACC expects the expansion to create up to 40 new jobs by 2015 and has already begun hiring additional supervisory, engineering and production associates. Currently the company has 51 full-time employees in Indiana.

The Indiana Economic Development Corp. offered Automotive Climate Control up to $200,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $100,000 in training grants based on the job creation plans. The Elkhart County Council approved an eight-year tax abatement.
