The manufacturer’s AIA Countertops division will broaden its product line to include new granite and quartz countertops.
Patrick Industries is buying, renovating and equipping a 142,000-square-foot factory at 203 S. Huntington Ave., Syracuse, for additional production.
Elkhart-based Patrick Industries makes and distributes building and component products for the recreational vehicle, manufactured housing and industrial markets.

The Indiana Economic Development Corp. on Thursday announced it has offered Patrick Industries up to $325,000 in tax credits, based on the company’s job-creation plans. The employer won’t get the full amount if it doesn’t fulfill its hiring projection.
