Harrington Locates Distribution Center in New Haven, Indiana
07/15/2020
The company is retrofitting an existing building at 2742 Wayne Haven Street in New Haven into a 68,000-square-foot distribution center which will allow the company to increase its national reach and enhance its support to its customer base in the Great Lakes region.
“The greater Fort Wayne area was where we started our search process for a new regional distribution center because of its central location in relation to many of our branches,” said David Burnett, director of supply chain at Harrington. “As we’ve started work here, the City of New Haven has been a great partner for us in facilitating a smooth and efficient startup. We’re tremendously excited about the opportunity to continue our growth in the region; this facility will increase our ability to provide products to our customer base and to house additional resources for our surrounding branches.”
Harrington, which currently employs more than 500 across the country and five at its branch in Indianapolis, plans to create up to 20 new jobs by the end of 2024. The company is hiring sales and administrative personnel as well as company truck drivers and warehouse staff.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Harrington Industrial Plastics LLC up to $70,000 in conditional tax credits. These incentives are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives once Hoosiers are hired. Northeast Indiana Works will provide the company with additional hiring and training assistance.
“It’s encouraging to see positive economic momentum in companies like Harrington who are choosing Indiana for growth in multiple areas of the state," said Indiana Secretary of Commerce Jim Schellinger. "We're laser focused on making Indiana the best place to live, work and play, and look forward to supporting Harrington as they continue to flourish and provide quality jobs for Hoosiers in their communities.”
“I'm proud to welcome Harrington to our community,” New Haven Mayor Steve McMichael said. “As a city, we have created a tremendous business climate while maintaining a high quality of life. It's the best of both worlds, and we're delighted that the Harrington team has chosen to invest here.”
