Hebron Manufacturing Company Expanding, Adding 36 Jobs

Armor USA, Inc. is planning a $3.3 million expansion on Earhart Court.

(Boone County, Ky.) – A company’s $3.3 million expansion will bring 36 new jobs to Boone County.

Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin announced March 28 that Armor USA, Inc. is planning to expand its facility to more than 113,000 square feet with a 32,000 square foot addition.

The company, which manufactures and sells thermal-transfer ribbons for printing variable information onto labels and packaging, is located on Earhart Court in Hebron.

“Manufacturing excellence continues to be a hallmark of Kentucky’s economy, and this investment is further proof of the tremendous growth we are seeing throughout our state,” Gov. Bevin said. “Armor USA Inc. will significantly increase its workforce with this move, providing strong opportunities for Kentuckians in the process. The company has served Northern Kentucky well for the past two decades, and we look forward to their continued success in the years ahead.”

The addition will allow Armor USA to expand manufacturing and logistics capabilities. The company, a subsidiary of France-based ARMOR, plans to increase production by more than 60 percent between 2020 and 2023.

“Armor USA has been a proud member of the Kentucky business community for 20 years,” said Randy Culman, Armor USA vice president of finance and administration. “The incentives provided by the state will allow us to continue our growth initiatives and achieve our aggressive targets for market share in the Americas.”

The business has been received preliminary approval from the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority tax incentives up to $250,000 through the Kentucky Business Investment program. It can also receive resources through the Kentucky Skills Network.
