Astemo to Invest Over $11 Million to Expand Muncie Facility
What happened
Astemo plans to invest more than $11 million to expand its manufacturing facility in Muncie, Delaware County. The project involves installing additional injection molding capacity and a new assembly line for intake manifolds. The company expects to retain its 188 employees and add nine additional positions to the workforce.
Why it matters
The Muncie Common Council awarded Astemo a five-year tax abatement for the expansion project. Astemo is a critical component supplier whose operational status directly impacts Honda's parts procurement.
