Information Services Company to Expand Indiana Headquarters, Hire 230

NOBLESVILLE, IN - Governor Mitch Daniels joined executives from technology services firm, Miller Consulting Group today to announce the company will expand its operations in Noblesville, creating up to 230 new jobs by the end of 2013.

The company, which provides computer-aided design and engineering services for the aerospace, defense and medical device industries, plans to invest $2.1 million in computer software, hardware and equipment.  The company will lease a portion of the historic Model Mill building on Mulberry Street. 

"Days like today can't come often enough in Indiana; hundreds of high-quality jobs in downtown Noblesville is certainly reason to celebrate," said Daniels.

Established in 1999, Miller Consulting Group is an authorized reseller of Siemens' software systems and serves clients including Allison Transmission, Ingersoll Rand, DePuy Orthopaedics, EnerDel, Comlux, Triumph Aerospace and Orthopediatrics, to name a few.  The company will begin hiring engineers, managers, technicians and IT personnel immediately.

"We've been fortunate to establish some great client relationships out of state and while we considered moving our headquarters to be closer to them, we also realized the many benefits of staying in Indiana," said Dale Miller, Miller Consulting president.  "We sincerely appreciated the way that the Hamilton County Alliance, the city of Noblesville and the state of Indiana supported our project and decision to grow in Indiana."

Miller Consulting Group's latest expansion comes on the heels of the company's announced plans to open a Warsaw office to serve orthopedic manufacturing customers.  The company expects to hire up to 25 computer-assisted design and engineering technicians by year-end.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Miller Consulting up to $2.5 million in performance-based tax credits and up to $120,000 in training grants based on the company's job creation plans. The city of Noblesville will consider additional property tax abatement.

"This high-tech operation is an excellent addition to the Noblesville corporate community and brings with it great jobs and great opportunities.  It is also exciting that Miller Consulting Group is linking this part of Noblesville's present and future with our past by setting up offices in the historic downtown Model Mill building.  We look forward to working with them in the years to come," said Mayor John Ditslear.

Miller Consulting Group is the latest central Indiana company planning to expand.  In May, Arcadia HealthCare (NYSE Amex:KAD) announced plans to expand its national headquarters and pharmacy fulfillment operations on the north side of Indianapolis, creating up to 930 new jobs by 2013.
