Green Technology Company Bringing Jobs

(Michigan City, IN) - About 100 new jobs are coming to Michigan City.  Aquagenics Technologies is moving its headquarters and manufacturing facility from the Chicago area to the former Joy Manufacturing site on South Woodland Ave.  The bioscience company makes environmentally safe products like filters and household cleaning solutions. 

 

Mayor Duane Parry said it’s significant that some of the vacant space at the partially empty industrial complex is going to be occupied.  Officials said tax abatement was recently granted by the city on the company’s projected $10 million investment.  The wages will be very competitive and much of the move is expected to be completed before the end of the year, officials said.

 

Aquagenics Technologies develops anti-microbial technologies used in water treatment, filtration and sanitation.  Its customers are in the retail, industrial, medical and government sectors, officials said.
