The Indianapolis-based company, which supplies customers in the aerospace, automotive and medical industries, will invest $524,000 to expand its aerospace division at its 9,000 square-foot facility in Indianapolis. As part of the project, the company will make building renovations and information technology upgrades.
Haggard & Stocking, which currently has 56 full-time employees in Indiana, has already begun hiring new customer service, warehouse, sales and management associates.
"Haggard & Stocking's success and growth would have been greatly diminished without the supportive business environment in Indiana," said Herb Haggard, president and chief executive officer of Haggard & Stocking. "We're very pleased to have our headquarters in Indiana, where small business owners are appreciated and celebrated."

Celebrating the company's 40th anniversary this year, Haggard & Stocking began operations as a blueprint specialty tooling producer. The company, which operates nine facilities throughout the nation, was recently awarded the 2012 Region V Subcontractor of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Haggard and Stocking Associates, Inc. up to $165,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $33,500 in training grants based on the company's job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Indianapolis supports the project through additional incentives at the request of Develop Indy.
