Incipio Devices LLC plans to invest nearly $7.1 million, to expand the manufacturing and research and development capabilities of its Huntington plant, creating approximately 22 new jobs before the end of 2020 while retaining 27 existing positions, the company said Friday morning
Company President Troy Johnson was joined by Huntington Mayor Brooks Fetters, Huntington County Commissioner Tom Wall and Huntington County Economic Development Corp. executive director, Mark Wickersham in celebrating the announcement.
“Both the city and county have been incredibly supportive of my company. We simply would not be in Huntington without the teamwork demonstrated by them through their local economic development efforts,” Johnson said in a statement. “I’ve found Huntington to be a great place to do business and Mark and his team have been there for me anytime we’ve had a question or needed support. They genuinely want this company to succeed. It’s how economic development should be done."
Incipio Devices is a world-class leader in the orthopedic industry, according to the statement. Based in Huntington, the company also has offices in St.-Blaise, Switzerland.
Fetters, Wall and Wickersham, all praised Johnson and Incipio Devices as a great example of a local entrepreneur investing in their hometown.
“The Johnson family has been a fixture of leadership in the Huntington business community for years,” Wickersham said in the statement.
“Troy graduated from Huntington North High School, and we’re very proud of him and thank him for continuing to grow his company in Huntington,” Wall said in the statement.
