ROME, N.Y. — Indium Corporation is expanding its manufacturing facility in Rome and would like to hire 300 employees over the next two years.
With its growth, the facility at 5836 Success Drive in Rome is now the company’s largest manufacturing center globally in terms of square footage, Indium said in its Aug. 24 announcement.
Indium expects the 24,000-square-foot expansion to have a “significant” economic impact on the city of Rome. It represents a more than $10 million investment into the local economy with the company looking to hire 300 employees over the next two years, “with many roles needed immediately.”
In addition, the expansion brings the number of processes executed at the facility to 25 with more than 175 pieces of manufacturing equipment.
“The people of Rome have been welcoming to Indium Corporation since we began our operations here in 2013,” Ross Berntson, president and COO of Indium, said in a release. “This investment represents our continuing commitment to being a conscientious corporate citizen, while ultimately contributing to the already fantastic quality of life here.”
The Rome facility produces solder fabrications that are used primarily by advanced-electronics manufacturers to build their final assemblies, the company said.
Since operations started at the Rome facility in August 2013, staffing has grown from just a few employees to 163, with more hiring needed to meet “increased demand,” the company noted.
Total jobs at Indium’s Central New York facilities have grown from 681 in 2020 to the current local employee count of 951, the company said. Indium continues to grow globally as well with more than 1,300 employees at 15 locations around the world.
Following an Aug. 24 news conference, Indium hosted a recruiting event onsite to “address its immediate production needs.” The company is continuing its hiring campaign for Rome and other local facilities. Career seekers can visit jobs.indium.com to learn more.
