JM CNC LLC Plans $4.5 Million Expansion At Its Rushville, Indiana, Manufacturing Center

08/04/2015
JM CNC, LLC, a computer numerical control manufacturer, plans to expand its operations center in Rushville, Indiana. The company plans to create up to 62 new jobs by 2018.

The homegrown Hoosier company will invest $4.5 million to add 40,000 square feet to its Rushville location. The renovation will provide additional space for 20 new CNC machines, employees and production output. Formerly known as JM Manufacturing, the company changed its name to JM CNC on August 1 to reflect its new owner, Columbia City, Indiana-based Impact CNC.

JM CNC, which currently has 38 full-time employees in Indiana, plans to begin hiring for CNC operations, set-up, assembly, quality assurance and shipping and receiving positions immediately. Interested applicants may apply in person at 167 E. 200 N. in Rushville.

“Indiana is such a business-friendly state that has so many resources to support business growth,” said Jerry Busche, CEO of Impact CNC. “Other states talk about the Midwestern work ethic, but I believe that the Hoosier work ethic and family values far surpass those in any of our neighboring states, making Indiana a great place to live and work.”

JM CNC will act as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Impact CNC, its new parent company. Impact CNC currently supplies CNC work to the automotive, heavy truck, off-highway and oil industries. Last year, Impact CNC was recognized as a 2014 Company to Watch and received the Outstanding Supplier Support Award from Toyota.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered JM CNC up to $400,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. Rush County will consider additional incentives at the request of the Rush County Economic & Community Development Corporation.

“Indiana’s robust manufacturing sector is one of the key drivers of our economy,” said Victor Smith, Indiana Secretary of Commerce. “Manufacturing has succeeded in the Hoosier State because businesses like JM CNC continue to grow and flourish in our low-regulation, low-cost environment. We are thrilled to hear that yet another homegrown company is continuing its growth in Indiana and more than doubling its Hoosier workforce.”
