The City of Fort Wayne, WorkOne Northeast, and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) worked with local company officials to ensure the German based Automotive Company remained in Fort Wayne. Other locations considered were Michigan and Ohio. The company is currently awaiting approval for a ten year incentive package with a grand total of $1.7 million.

“The City is excited to have an international company choose Fort Wayne for its North American headquarters,” stated Mayor Tom Henry. “Our ongoing relationship and open dialog with local company executives allowed us to address specific needs to retain this Fort Wayne business.”
