“Indiana is the nation’s manufacturing leader, which extends beyond just being home to the highest concentration of manufacturing jobs in the nation. Hoosiers at companies like GlassBoard are also the innovators and engineers behind the development of products we use daily, helping turn ideas into reality,” said Governor Mike Pence. “As a state, we are committed to helping companies like GlassBoard multiply and grow through our plan to invest $1 billion over the next 10 years toward innovation and entrepreneurship in Indiana. Hoosier entrepreneurs need support and resources to grow their businesses, and we’re dedicated to making sure they find that support here in Indiana.”
GlassBoard CEO Randy Parmerlee said the company was excited to expand its presence in Indy.
