The company makes seats for construction equipment, emergency vehicles as well as heavy duty trucks and turf equipment. The company will relocated its metal fabrication to a facility outside of Chariton. The Iowa Economic Development Authority officials say 64 people will be employed at its new facility in south central Iowa. A state board has approved state incentives that will off-set SOME of the company’s capital investment of more than five million dollars.
