Pillar Innovations is a provider of mining equipment for oil and gas industries. While the enterprise is headquartered in Maryland it seeks to expand it operations into the state of Indiana. This expansion will bring 15 new jobs to the city of Evansville through the investment of nearly 1 million dollars into the development of a new facility. The operational center will open in January of 2015.

Eric Guthrie is the Assistant Manager for Operations at Pillar Innovations. He spoke to the factors that led his company to choose the Hoosier state of the Terrapin state for their new investment.

"Pillar Innovations chose Evansville, Indiana for its expansion primarily because we have found an excellent workforce to build our team with, we believe Indiana's right-to-work, business-friendly environment will be key to our company's success." he said.

Economic development has been a major feat of the administration of Indiana Governor Mike Pence. His office's ability to work with local manufacturers has led to a resurgence of this industry within Indiana's economy. The effort of the Indiana Economic Development Corporate to offer conditional tax credits was another component that facilitated the out-of-state investment capital to be spent within the Hoosier state's borders.

The thriving state of Indiana's manufacturing economy encompasses multiple competitive enterprises. To succeed within this environment, business management software that implements an efficient ERP structure can mean the difference between failure and success.
