Indium Corporation Celebrates Expansion of Rome Manufacturing Facility
August 24, 2022
Indium Corporation celebrated with a press conference this morning the significant expansion of its onsite operations at 5836 Success Drive in Rome. With its growth, the Rome facility is now the company's largest manufacturing center globally in terms of square footage. The event was attended by media and special guests and the Rome business community.
The 24,000 square foot expansion is expected to have a significant economic impact on the city of Rome. It represents a more than $10 million investment into the local economy with the company looking to hire 300 employees over the next two years, with many roles needed immediately. In addition, the expansion brings the number of processes executed at the facility to 25 with more than 175 pieces of manufacturing equipment.
"The people of Rome have been welcoming to Indium Corporation since we began our operations here in 2013," said Indium Corporation President and COO Ross Berntson. "This investment represents our continuing commitment to being a conscientious corporate citizen, while ultimately contributing to the already fantastic quality of life here."
Since the commencement of operations at the Rome facility in August 2013, staffing has grown from just a few individuals to 163, with more hiring needed to meet increased demand. Overall jobs at Central New York facilities have grown from 681 in 2020 to 951 currently. Indium Corporation continues to grow globally with over 1,300 employees at 15 locations around the world.
Following the press conference, Indium Corporation hosted a recruiting event onsite to address its immediate production needs. The company is continuing its hiring campaign for Rome and other local facilities. Career seekers are invited to visit jobs.indium.com to learn more.
