Nov. 26, 2014—TI Automotive in Ossian, Ind., announced on Tuesday that it will invest $10 million into their Wells County manufacturing facility in the form of new process equipment.
This expansion, in response to additional customer requests, is expected to be completed in 2015 and will add at least 70 new jobs. The facility currently employs 150.
TI Automotive will be accepting applications through Northeast Indiana Works, formerly Work One, and are expecting to partner with this agency in a series of job fairs in the Wells County area.
"TI Automotive is a great part of the Wells County community and we look forward to their future success and growth," Brad Pursley, Ossian Town Council president, said in a release. "Seventy percent or more of our new industrial expansion in Wells County will come from those businesses already calling Wells County their home. Helping these community members in ways including tax abatements, workforce development programs, and logistical support is our contribution to the great work these people do."
TI Automotive's Ossian facility develops and manufactures innovative, award-winning fuel tank systems for diesel, gasoline and flex-fuel applications. TI Automotive fuel tanks improve fuel system performance and are engineered for a wide range of packaging options, reduced evaporative emissions and low weight.
