Haier America to locate tech center in Indiana

Manhattan-based Haier America, a division of the multinational home appliance and consumer electronics manufacturer Haier Group, has announced plans to locate its North American tech center in Evansville, Ind., creating 50 new jobs by 2015.

The company plans to invest about $2.8 million in renovating an existing 30,000-sq.-ft. facility. The R&D center is expected to be up and running in early 2015. It will focus on commercialization of the company’s products for the U.S. market and new-product development.
