Indiana Governor Mike Pence is in town for a big announcement in Gibson County with news of a hundred new jobs. Vuteq is a part supplier for Toyota Manufacturing. The plant is next door toToyota, and started work around twelve years ago with fifty two people. Now there are nine times as many workers, and today they plan to add even more."That means thank you Vuteq. We will look forward to being back again to this region and this great company." Governor Mike Pence paid a visit to Vuteq in Princeton to help announce the good news. The plant will add around a hundred new jobs by the end of the year. "We are very excited to see another Indiana company that is growing. Vuteq made a commitment to this region ten years ago, and today's expansion is one more example of a great company saying yes to Indiana," says Pence.
Vuteq makes parts for toyota. The company plans to invest around four million in new equipment. The investment could have gone to a number of facilities in neighboring states but Gibson County is the top choice."Vuteq like so many companies is saying yes to hard working Hoosiers who are the best people on earth, and we are going to continue to tell that story," says Pence. These hard working Hoosiers say they couldn't be happier to see their company and community grow. "It's just wonderful to be able to have these jobs come here because we we're such a small place before. Now with all these jobs it's created, it's just really grown. Our businesses uptown have grown," says Vuteq employees. "Well, when I first started here, there was nothing here. There was nothing in this building but concrete and just to watch it grow and expand it's really been remarkable." From a few employees and concrete, to new equipment and visit from the Governor. Vuteq is excited for this next step forward. Indiana is the second largest motor vehicle industry in the country. Vuteq says they are glad to help maintain that spot.
