Whitley County EDC welcoming Iotron Industries execs with open house tomorrow morning

By Jennifer Zartman Romano

Whitley County will roll out the red carpet tomorrow morning for Iotron Industries, a Canadian company that recently announced it will be moving operations to this community.
The Whitley County Economic Development Corporation will be present at an open house at 9 a.m. tomorrow, February 22, at Peabody Public Library, to welcome Iotron Industries executives to northeast Indiana.
Iotron Industries announced recently that they will be constructing a $15 million dollar, 54,000 square foot plant in Park 30 Business Center, the shovel-ready industrial park along US 30 in eastern Whitley County. The plant will house the company's contract sterilization and materials modification enterprise. They expect to have completed all construction by late 2011.
According to EDC president Alan Tio, Iotron president Lloyd Scott will be joined by Congressman Marlin Stutzman, OrthoWorx CEO Brad Bishop and John Sampson of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership in giving an updated on the accelerated construction now underway at the site of the future Iotron Industries in Whitley County.
Additionally, officials will discuss opportunities for economic growth as a result of the presence of the new facility which will serve the nearby orthopedics industry. Local business leaders and members of the community at large are invited to attend the open house.
