F&W Moving Engine Line From Mexico to Noble County
Kendallville-based Flint & Walling Inc. is planning to on-shore some operations to Indiana. The Journal Gazette in Fort Wayne reports the manufacturer is shifting a production line from Mexico to Kendallville’s former Superior Essex facility that it acquired a year ago. The publication says F&W is investing more than $5 million into renovations and equipment for small sump pump engines that will be used by its parent company, Louisville-based Zoeller Co.
The 100,000 square-foot facility is expected to employ around 40. The Journal Gazette reports the additional operation will boost F&W’s total Kendallville headcount to 215. The new jobs, which include production, maintenance, supervision and shipping positions, are expected to pay between $18 to $23 per hour. Flint & Walling Inc. is a more than 150 year-old company.
