LOUISVILLE, Ky. — ISCO Industries Inc., a global provider of piping materials, will expand its footprint in Louisville with a new million dollar investment expected to bring 50 full-time jobs to the area, according to a release.
Leaders at ISCO Industries will invest in a new operation on Johnsontown Road in Louisville. The company is making a $12.75 million investment in the area.
They say the project supports "the company’s continued growth and will further enhance its fabrication capabilities."
Work on the project is expected to begin June 2025 and be completed by June 2026.
Gov. Andy Beshear announced the project on Wednesday.
“Building on our New Kentucky Home requires not only welcoming new businesses to our state, we also need to build on our existing partnerships to create even more jobs for our people,” Gov. Beshear said. “ISCO Industries has been a great Kentucky-based business for more than 60 years, and I am excited to see the company continue to grow in the decades to come.”
Established in 1962, ISCO was founded in Louisville and maintains its headquarters on Witherspoon Street.
The family-owned business – now led by his sons Jimmy and Mark – has grown to include more than 30 facilities across the United States and Canada. The company produces high-density polyethylene structures such as manholes, tanks, fittings and geothermal vaults.
“ISCO is proud to make an investment in innovation here in Kentucky,” ISCO president Mark Kirchdorfer said. “As we prepare for future growth, we will continually invest back into the business.”
In 2007, the company relocated its fabrication facility to Louisville Riverport, where it operates today and employs approximately 75 people.
