We’ve heard of U.S. companies leaving for foreign countries, but a German company is choosing Elkhart County.
This story by Ed Ernstes originally appeared in WSBT News 22.
Truma Corp. plans to put its new North American headquarters here.
Truma is teaming up with Nuway Construction, on a multi-million-dollar expansion off of Harman drive in Remington Park.
“Five years ago, we started our business here in North America,” said Gerhard Hundsberger of Truma. “We rented a small space but now we grew out of this space, we added 20 employees and, now we need something bigger. That’s why we are here now.”
Truma wants to add a two-story office building, a training facility, a new warehouse and a service bay.
“Within the next couple of years, we want to grow, our team further, from 20 now, to even 40 and 50 and 60 employees beyond that,” said Hundsberger.
In addition to expanding the operation on Elkhart’s north side and bringing more jobs, the company also plans to introduce a product from overseas to the RV market here.
