RENSSELAER, Ind. - Wilson Industrial Sales Company, Inc., a wholesale marketing and distribution company of inorganic chemicals, announced today that it will build a new facility here, creating up to 15 high-wage jobs by 2015.
The company, which supplies customers in the industrial and agricultural industries, currently has an operation in neighboring Newton County which it will relocate to a 10,000 square-foot facility in Jasper County. The company has already begun construction on the new building and will invest $2.2 million in the project.
Wilson Industrial Sales, which currently employs 35 associates at its existing northwest Indiana operations, has already begun hiring additional logistics, administrative and sales associates.
"Wilson Industrial Sales is excited to expand into Jasper County and remain a Hoosier enterprise," said Steve Wilson, president of Wilson Industrial Sales. "This expansion places Wilson Industrial Sales in the best position for current and future growth."
Founded in Indiana in 1960 by Thomas and Richard Wilson, the company began operations as a retailer of fertilizers and expanded into industrial chemicals in 1987. Wilson Industrial Sales delivers more than 300,000 tons of products annually to customers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Wilson Industrial Sales Company, Inc. up to $130,000 in conditional tax credits 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 Jasper County Council approved additional property tax abatement.
