HOWE, Ind. (WOWO): More jobs coming to LaGrange County. Exo-s has announced that it will move its operations from Three Rivers and Centerville, Michigan, to Howe, Indiana.

The Canadian-based company, an auto parts maker, expects the move to be finished in 2014 and to increase its workforce by 20% over the next 18 months. The company says it could the $6.8 million expansion mean as many as 250 new jobs overall for the community. 

The project started as a lead with the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership before the LaGrange County EDC took over talks with Exo-s.

Exo-s plans to start hiring machine operators, manufacturing associates, and technical and engineering personnel early next year.

Interested applicants can contact the company’s human resources department by mail at P.O. Box 328, Three Rivers, MI 49093 or by email at resume@exo-s.com.
