ST. PETER, MN – Creation Technologies will move into a 50,000-sq. ft. plant here by next year, the company said this week.
The announcement comes on the heels of a deal signed with the city of St. Peter, under which the EMS company agreed to create a minimum of 24 new full-time jobs within the next two years. Creation is working with local real estate and construction companies to build the new plant, estimated at $4.8 million. Once complete, Creation Technologies will sign a 15-year lease agreement. In return, St. Peter Economic Development Authority reportedly will purchase the company’s existing 37,000 sq. ft. building, acquired when the company bought Taytronics in 2007. The site currently employs 115 workers. “We are extremely excited to be building a new facility in the St. Peter area,” said John Makela, general manager of the company’s operations in St. Peter, in a statement. “Expanding our existing operations was essential to our commitment to our current customers.” Creation is the 11th largest North America-based EMS company.
