LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Governor Andy Beshear has announced a Louisville-based company will build a new headquarters in Breckenridge County.
Atlas Machine and Supply Inc., a fourth-generation family business will invest $3.47 million for a new 32,000-square foot facility in Hardinsburg.
The new headquarters is expected to create 78 new jobs for residents over 15 years and will bring the total number of those employees at the location to 100.
That facility houses the company’s Field Machining Division, which performs on-site industrial repairs for manufacturers across the U.S., according to a news release. The company said this move comes as they are seeing increased demand for their on-site services.
“While it’s always exciting when new companies come to Kentucky, it’s even more rewarding to see a homegrown company like Atlas succeed and reinvest in itself and our amazing workforce,” Gov. Beshear said in a statement. “Atlas has been doing business in the commonwealth for over 100 years, and this investment ensures this partnership will endure for many years to come. I want to thank Atlas’ leadership for having a long-term vision and believing in what Kentucky has to offer.”
Atlas’ new facility will be located on 10-acres in the Breckinridge County Industrial Park.
“The project will enable us to further strengthen our already solid partnership with the Breckinridge County Area Technology Center, Breckinridge County United and many others in the community,” Atlas Machine and Supply President Richie Gimmel said. “We also would like to thank the Kentucky Department of Economic Development for providing the tax incentives to help make this decision even easier.”
Gov. Beshear said the investment and job creation helps the state’s economic momentum as it “builds back stronger from the pandemic.”
