GlassBoard, a product development company, will invest more than $850,000 to expand its operation in Indianapolis, Indiana. The company is expected to create up to 36 new jobs over the next five years. The company will expand its facility and add computer hardware and software to build out its Indianapolis presence.

“Our team is incredibly invested in the Indianapolis area, so we’re excited to build upon the success we’ve already experienced in the product development industry right here in our home state,” said Randy Parmerlee, CEO of GlassBoard. “The new talent we’re seeking to hire will give us the momentum we need to continue growing at a sustainable yet rapid rate. We’re grateful to the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) for their support in helping us achieve our ambitious goals.”

“Indiana is the nation’s manufacturing leader, which extends beyond just being home to the highest concentration of manufacturing jobs in the nation. Hoosiers at companies like GlassBoard are also the innovators and engineers behind the development of products we use daily, helping turn ideas into reality,” said Governor Mike Pence.

“As a state, we are committed to helping companies like GlassBoard multiply and grow through our plan to invest $1 billion over the next 10 years toward innovation and entrepreneurship in Indiana. Hoosier entrepreneurs need support and resources to grow their businesses, and we’re dedicated to making sure they find that support here in Indiana,” he added.

“Indianapolis is fortunate to have companies like GlassBoard which are helping design and manufacture the products of the future,” said Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. “From entrepreneurs who need a working prototype, to advice from experts in product development, Indianapolis’ booming advanced manufacturing sector has a tremendous resource in its own backyard. We congratulate GlassBoard on their success and look forward to seeing the ideas of tomorrow become a reality in our city."
