In January this year, company officers told the Dayton Daily News that steady growth led the company to expand its Kettering office by nearly 5,000 square feet. JobsOhio metrics at the time showed that Marxent received a $1.5 million growth fund loan for the work. (JobsOhio is the state’s private development arm.)
With about 95 workers total in Ohio and Florida — with most of them by far in Kettering — Marxent was looking to add 15 employees in 2018, including an office manager, project managers, software developers and others, said Barry Besecker, Marxent co-founder and chief technology officer.
