Hobart Brothers anticipates an additional 40 people will be added to its workforce once the new plant is at capacity. In addition, the building will contribute thousands of dollars to the local property tax base and will be built by Ferguson Construction, a local contractor, further improving the economic impact of the expansion.
Construction on the new building is scheduled to begin the week of September 2, 2008 and will be completed by Spring 2009.
Incorporated in 1917, and then acquired by Illinois Tool Works in 1996, Hobart Brothers Company is a leading manufacturer of welding consumables. Other Hobart Brothers manufacturing facilities are located in Piqua, Ohio, and Woodstock Ontario, Canada.
