NTN USA, Inc., a subsidiary of NTN Corporation, a Japan-based multinational corporation, has filed the necessary paperwork for property tax abatements to support a new production facility in Anderson, Indiana.
The City Economic Development Interim Director Greg Winkler is guiding the company through the approval process this week that has included the preliminary vote from the Anderson City Council votes on July 9, 2015. The Plan Commission and the Redevelopment Commission have both approved parts of the NTN project.
“We are now attracting the attention of multi-billion dollar international companies like NTN USA,” stated Mayor Kevin S. Smith. “Our global marketing efforts are paying off and we will continue to work hard to bring well-paying jobs and opportunities to the residents of Anderson.”
After obtaining the necessary approvals, NTN USA, Inc. plan on building a 325,000 square foot manufacturing facility to respond to increased demand for their Constant Velocity Joints (CVJs).
