In addition, the company&#8217;s technology is used for advanced applications such composite curing in the defense and manufacturing industries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The selection of Indiana for our expansion facility represented the culmination of more than two years of intensely exploring and considering sites across the United States for a possible location,&#8221; said Lloyd Scott, president of Iotron. &#8220;We believe we have now secured a highly competitive position that will benefit both Iotron and the Indiana region in the short- and long-term.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Iotron commenced the process of expanding the company&#8217;s operations, Indiana held a good deal of interest in this expansion due to the state&#8217;s leading position in the orthopedic industry and its business-friendly environment,&#8221; said Joseph Rangel, chief executive officer of Iotron. &#8220;Indiana enthusiastically supported our expansion into the Hoosier state, and Iotron looks forward to helping the state expand its competitive position and assist in attracting companies requiring electron beam processing of their products.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Iotron expects to break ground on the new Iotron Industries USA facility in early 2011, with major construction to be completed by late 2011. The company&#8217;s hiring will begin in January 2011 to begin training selected Indiana-based employees in specialized electron-beam processing methods at Iotron&#8217;s Canadian facilities before the Columbia City facility is operational. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While the Warsaw region is already recognized as the orthopedic capital of the world, the addition of a sterilization facility in the region adds a key component to the existing value chain of our orthopedics industry,&#8221; said Brad Bishop, executive director of OrthoWorx. &#8220;Iotron&#8217;s location of a sterilization facility in northern Indiana adds an important capability to the cluster, as well adding new high-tech jobs for residents in our region.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) offered Iotron up to $200,000 in performance-based tax credits based on the company&#8217;s job-creation plans. Whitley County worked with three other counties to aggregate $7 million in Recovery Zone Facility Bonds, as well as other local incentives at the request of the Whitley County Economic Development Corporation<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Numerous Midwest companies can take immediate advantage of Iotron&#8217;s new location in Indiana when the facility is completed later in 2011,&#8221; said Alan Tio, president of the Whitley County Economic Development Corporation. &#8220;Their new central location gives them immediate access to major orthopedic companies in Warsaw, Indiana, and the $2 billion commercial defense industry in northeast Indiana.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This project demonstrates Whitley County&#8217;s continuing commitment to supporting medical device manufacturing, product development, and support companies,&#8221; said County Commissioner Mike Schrader, &#8220;We are pleased to welcome Iotron to Whitley County and will work to encourage the company&#8217;s success in our community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Iotron Industries Canada, Inc<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIotron Industries Canada Inc. is a Canadian company operating an Electron Beam service center in the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia, Canada.
