Jasper Engines And Transmissions To Expand Manufacturing Operations

The company, which remanufactures drivetrain components, plans to invest $6.9 million to renovate and equip a 220,000-square-foot facility presently vacant within a 1/2 mile of its current 367,000-square-foot facility at 815 Wernsing Road in Jasper.

JASPER, Ind. – Jasper Engines and Transmissions CEO Doug Bawel joined state and local officials in announcing the company’s plans to expand its footprint in Jasper, Ind., to create additional jobs and reinvest in the former Kimball Plastics manufacturing facility located at 1220 Power Drive in Jasper.
 
“Jasper Engines & Transmissions is a great Indiana economic success story. The company that has prospered and provided thousands of jobs for Hoosiers for over 70 years is expanding again,” said Lt. Gov. Ellspermann. “We continue to see how our business-friendly tax and regulatory policies plus our dedicated workforce make Indiana a place where companies want to expand and locate. Our record-breaking job growth shows that Indiana truly is a state that works.”
 
The company, which remanufactures drivetrain components, plans to invest $6.9 million to renovate and equip a 220,000-square-foot facility presently vacant within a ½ mile of its current 367,000-square-foot facility at 815 Wernsing Road in Jasper. The additional facility will become the new home of JASPER’S Transmission Division, which includes disassembly, machining, assembly, testing and warehousing of automotive drivetrain components. Bawel said they plan to be fully operational this fall.
 
JASPER currently employs more than 2,600 associates throughout the United States, including more than 1,445 in Indiana. The company has already begun advertising for positions in manufacturing, maintenance, information technology, distribution, engineering and quality control positions in Jasper.
 
“When looking at our options for expansion, no other place measured
up to the business climate in Indiana,” said Bawel. “Jasper Engines and Transmissions is growing at a high rate and this expansion is thanks to our hard-working associates and our company’s dedication to excellence in producing our products. This is phase one of the approval needed for this project as we now await phase two, which is the City of Jasper’s approval of local real and personal tax abatement. We are excited to grow production here, and are very hopeful, with the state taking the lead, we can bring this project to fruition quickly.”
