County 55: Huntington

I was delighted to join executives from Helena Chemical as they celebrated their new facility in Huntington.  

There is competition for every investment, and we know companies can choose to put down roots wherever they like.  It is a huge vote of confidence in our workforce and our communities when they choose Indiana first.  Helena Chemical’s multi-million dollar investment will bring 20 new jobs to the region.

Helena Chemical to open in Huntington

HUNTINGTON, Ind. (WANE) -- Helena Chemical Company is opening a new state-of-art fertilizer facility in Huntington. The terminal will serve five to ten million acres of agricultural production and can hold over 70,000 tons of product.

Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman, company leaders, and elected officials attended a ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday at Industrial Park 24.

Helena says it chose Huntington because of the Norfolk Southern rail line and its room for growth.

The new facility currently has nine employees and the company could add as many as 15 more.
