Decatur Plastics Products, a manufacturer of custom injection-molded plastic parts and components, announced plans on April 11 to expand its operations in Jennings County, creating up to 70 new jobs by 2021.

The North Vernon-based company will invest $11.4 million over the next five years to expand its 87,850-square-foot headquarters and production operations, adding 100,000 square feet to its campus over two phases of development. Decatur Plastics Products is currently renovating and equipping a recently-purchased, 50,000-square-foot shell building in the North Vernon Industrial Park to house additional warehousing and accommodate light assembly. After the new space is complete, which is expected to be in July, the company plans to construct a 50,000-square-foot facility next to its new building by summer 2020.
