USA - Vermont Castings Adding Jobs

Reading time: min

Vermont <link _top>Castings is adding 62 new jobs to its production line. Good news - considering the company laid off its work force of 162 people for 12 weeks earlier this year. The job growth makes them eligible for nearly a half million dollars from the state's employment growth incentive program.

Vermont <link _top>Castings will use the funding to add a new <link _top>enamelling process. That will allow it to produce a new line of appliances in Vermont instead of at its parent-company's plant in Kentucky.

"As Kentucky expanded, there was an opportunity to either keep the <link _top>steel stove production there or consolidate it with stove production in Vermont," explained Dale Trombley, the General Manager of Vermont <link _top>Castings. "The grant the state of Vermont was able to offer to us was the deciding factor that said yep, move that production up here."
