Connersville Manufacturer Eyeing Relocation

CONNERSVILLE, Ind. – A longtime Connersville employer could relocate its headquarters and operations to Michigan.

Stant Corporation announced it has entered into second-round negotiations with the state.

Company officials say a final decision has not been made, but are excited about the business possibilities up north.

The company appears to be attracted to Michigan’s automotive economy along with the closer proximity to its customer base.

The Fayette County plant employs approximately 300 associates and is a manufacturer of vapor management systems, fuel delivery systems and thermal management systems, and a provider of other engineering services.
