Representatives from Patrick Industries joined Mayor Tom Dermody and the The City of La Porte La Porte City Council on Monday to announce plans to open a new facility in La Porte creating up to 31 new jobs in the community by 2025.

“La Porte is a community on the rise. We are thrilled to partner with an industry leader such as Patrick Industries and this project will provide high-quality employment opportunities for our residents,” said Mayor Tom Dermody.
Patrick Industries will invest several million dollars to equip a new 60,000 square-foot-facility in the Thomas Rose Industrial Park. The company will occupy the new spec industrial building being constructed by Quincy Development.

support,” said Senior Vice President Hugo Gonzalez.
“Indiana has earned national recognition for its strength in manufacturing as the highest concentration of
manufacturing jobs in the country,” said Interim Indiana Secretary of Commerce Jim Staton. “It’s rewarding to support
companies like Patrick Industries that continue to thrive here, and I’m confident our business climate and high-quality
talent pipeline will support their continued success for years to come.”
