Shirley-based Tech Castings LLC has announced plans to expand its operations and add more than 40 jobs by 2019. The turbine engine components manufacturer says the positions will pay an average of more than $18 per hour.

Shirley, Ind. — Tech Castings LLC – a private IN-based foundry specializing in investment casting of vacuum-melt superalloy turbine engine components serving a worldwide commercial and military aerospace customer base – was recently awarded grants and tax credits by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC).

Specifically, the IEDC will offer a grant of up to $30,000 from the Skills Enhancement Fund for training the Company’s eligible, Indiana resident employees. This flexible training program will provide partial reimbursement for a wide variety of training costs, will be for a two (2) year period and will be limited to a maximum of 50% of the Company’s eligible training costs.

The IEDC will also offer up to $310,000 in Economic Development for a Growing Economy (“EDGE”) tax credits which may be certified over a period not to exceed 10 years (2015-2024). The calculation is based on the creation of 44 net new full-time positions for Indiana resident employees earning an average wage of $18.20 per hour by the year 2019.
