Many businesses have experienced the benefits that come from setting up operations in a specific location. This is something organizations that call Indiana home have known about for sometime.

According to a press release from the company, Angola-based Illuminated Image has announced plans to expand into Steuben County and add 20 new jobs by 2017. This will happen when the company pours $1.1 million into its operations. This will be used to lease, renovate and equip the current 50,000 square-foot facility in Angola.

"In Indiana, we have illuminated a clear pathway for business success and growth," said Eric Doden, president of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. "The future for companies like Illuminated Image is bright in Indiana, where they find a central location to conveniently reach customers nationwide. With Indiana's skilled manufacturing workforce and affordable business climate, companies can continue to invest in their operations here with confidence that this is a state that works for business."

Von Lomont, the president of Illuminated Image, said that his company is grateful to have its manufacturing operations in northeast Indiana. This is because it is a good area, with good people that have an ingrained strong work ethic. He added that he has no concerns about finding several quality skilled professionals to fill the positions that will be created in the months ahead.

With the help of improved business management software, any company will be able to improve its overall operations and take advantage of calling a state line Indiana home.
