John Hindman, secretary, Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development, said: “Northern Kentucky has demonstrated that it has the workforce and technology infrastructure necessary to attract high-tech firms and jobs to the region.”
The new 12,000 square foot facility will house the company’s North American production and distribution center.
Jason Looman, CEO, HBC-radiomatic, said: “Northern Kentucky offers a talented and available technology workforce and infrastructure in a central location. In addition, we were able to secure support through the Kentucky Enterprise Initiative Act for construction of the new building.”
HBC-radiomatic will initially employ 15 associates and plans to expand to 30 associates in the next three to five years.
Unit Building Services has been chosen to construct the new facility in Hebron, 13 miles southwest of Cincinnati. “HBC-radiomatic joins 160 international companies, of which 37 are German, in Northern Kentucky,” said Gary Moore, member of Northern Kentucky Tri-ED’s Executive Committee and Boone County Judge-Executive.
HBC-radiomatic has been approved by the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority to receive a Kentucky sales and use tax refund up to $54,050 for eligible construction materials, building fixtures and equipment through the Kentucky Enterprise Initiative Act, which helps to attract expanding technology companies to the Commonwealth.
