Italy-Based Filtrec To Build New North American Headquarters In Indiana

Northern Italy-based filter production company, Filtrec, announced it will locate the company’s North American headquarters in Indiana.

The firm plans to invest more than $1 million to build its new headquarters in the town of Daleville.

The announcement comes at the start of a three-day economic development trip by Gov. Eric Holcomb to northern Italy.

Filtrec launched a sales operation in Delaware County earlier this month, and the company says it’ll build a small headquarters to start and expand over time.

The Indiana Economic Corporation says the company will receive a $275,000 tax incentive package when jobs are filled by Indiana workers.

Filtrec officials promised to hire 25 workers at the Daleville plant in the next four years.
