The move will result in 76 new jobs for Allen County by 2014 and will retain 105 employees. Greatbatch will invest $17.4 million in the development of the Kroemer Road site.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, Greatbatch Inc. (NYSE: GB) acquired Precimed Inc., which allowed the Greatbatch family of companies to expand into the more than $20 billion orthopedic market. Greatbatch Medical currently operates the former Precimed facility in Whitley County, Indiana, which specializes in instrumentation for hip and knee replacement and trauma and spine technologies for global customers. This operation will be relocated to an 80,000-square-foot facility in Allen County with construction scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2012.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With a record number of new deals last year, Indiana&#8217;s life sciences sector is on a roll,&#8221; said Mitch Roob, Secretary of Commerce and chief executive officer of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. &#8220;Today&#8217;s significant investment from Greatbatch is even more proof that Indiana is home to the orthopedics capital of the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The State of Indiana has long been known for its excellence in the orthopedic industry and Greatbatch Medical is proud to be a part of that legacy,&#8221; said Thomas J. Hook, president and chief executive officer of Greatbatch Inc. &#8220;Locating this facility in Northeast Indiana provides us with the ability to build upon our skilled workforce and position us for long term growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Fort Wayne-Allen County Economic Development Alliance compiled a competitive package worth more than $3 million with incentive offers from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), WorkOne Northeast, the City of Fort Wayne and Allen County. The Allen County Council, Board of Commissioners and Allen County Redevelopment Commission will begin finalizing the offers in February.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re pleased to welcome such a high-caliber company bringing high-wage jobs and a considerable investment to our community,&#8221; Allen County Commissioner Nelson Peters said. &#8220;This project will grow our life sciences cluster and improve our status as a location that is hospitable toward that industry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Greatbatch Inc<\/strong>.<br \/>\nGreatbatch Inc.
