Structures USA to Establish Tubular Manufacturing Facility in Kentucky
09/11/2013 - Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear announced Structures USA LLC, a newly-formed manufacturing arm for VSI Sales LLC, plans to establish a tubular manufacturing operation in Elizabethtown, Ky.
The company expects to create up to 50 jobs over the next few years and invest more than US$3.3 million in the project.
Structures USA’s primary focus will be the manufacturing of steel and aluminum tubular products for use in the transportation, light rail, and utility/transmission industries. Structures USA is extremely excited about the start of the new manufacturing facility in Elizabethtown. The company made the decision to open the facility in Kentucky, instead of other potential locations, based on quality of workforce, quality of the community life and logistics.
“We were only able to make this happen through the efforts of Rick Games and the Elizabethtown-Hardin County Industrial Foundation, as well as the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development,” said Angela DiSimone, Structures USA CEO and owner.
To encourage the investment and job creation in Elizabethtown, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved the company for tax incentives up to US$200,000 through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based incentive allows a company to keep a portion of its investment over the term of the agreement through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments by meeting job and investment targets.
