“We are extremely pleased to bring the opportunity for new jobs and economic growth to Batesville,” says Glenn Anderson, owner and president of Anderson Technologies. “Batesville is centrally located to serve the southeastern United States, and we see tremendous opportunity in this part of the country. We also appreciate the skilled workforce, which is essential to help us maintain our reputation for quality and reliability.”
The new plant, to be located at 875 Highway 51 South, will employ approximately 50 people when it becomes fully operational. The company anticipates that applications will be accepted beginning in mid-February 2010 through the WIN Job Center.
“We’re putting down roots here, and we hope that this facility will grow to create additional jobs in the future. We’ve proven that you don’t need to go overseas to get competitively priced, high-quality injection molded products, and our growth strategy relies on this location for diversification,” stated Anderson. “We appreciate all the support we have received from the Panola Partnership, CEO Sonny Simmons, the skilled staff and the Mississippi Development Authority throughout this process, and we are looking forward to building a successful business partnership with the community.”
The Mississippi Development Authority provided $50,000 in Momentum Mississippi incentives and the Panola Partnership provided $10,000 to help facilitate this project.
