EnerDel plans to add 850 jobs to its current 92 person operation. The company is well known for its lithium-ion batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles. They plan on hiring additional engineers, production associates, and administrative staff later in 2008. Some positions will be at the company’s headquarters on the northeast side of Indianapolis and others in a new facility to be established in Noblesville. EnerDel also plans on building another facility at a yet to be identified location in central Indiana. The state has encouraged the company with millions of dollars in tax credits and over $50,000 in training grants.
