A company that produces automated material handling solutions is expanding its operations in Danville.
Intelligrated Inc. makes automated material handling and robotics systems. The company's $1.6 million expansion is expected to create up to 50 jobs. Governor Steve Beshear called the planned expansion a great comeback story, since the company had planned to move operations to Ohio a few years ago.
The Danville facility was slated for closure in 2009 as the company planned to consolidate its operations. But due to an increase in product demand and a local specialized workforce, the company decided to keep the plant open. The company's Danville facility currently employs nearly 130 workers.
The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority has preliminarily approved the company for tax incentives up to $1 million.
