AMT to renovate Indiana facility

Advanced Metal Technologies of Indiana Inc. (AMT), a member of the Whitesell Group of companies, has announced plans to renovate its operations in Jeffersonville, Ind.

In December 2011, AMT acquired the assets of MKM Machine Tool Co. Inc. in Jeffersonville and opened the doors of MKM's former facility as an AMT plant. AMT, which manufactures complex metal and plastic parts for the automotive and industrial markets, will invest $19 million to lease, renovate, and equip the 310,000-sq.-ft. facility.

AMT has already hired more than 130 associates, including 106 former MKM employees. It plans to continue to fill production, engineering, sales, administrative, and management positions over the next few years, creating up to 350 new jobs by 2015.
