Ball jars, Yankee Candle, Abu Garcia, AeroBed, Coleman. If any of these brands sound familiar then you should also know about the company that works closely with their organizations. Jarden Home Brands operates in three primary business segments through a number of well recognized brands including those previously mentioned. As of July 17, the international company has announced the completion of their new facility in Fishers.
“We at Jarden Home Brands are thrilled to be part of the Fishers community, and look forward to being a community contributor for years to come,” said Chris Scherzinger, CEO at the company. “We are appreciative of the efforts of Fishers city leaders to help us build a new home here, and for supporting a positive climate for growth in Fishers for our company and our families alike.”
In July 2014, Jarden Home Brands purchased the 635,000 square foot building at 9999 E. 121st St., and invested a total of $6.5 million in building improvements. Experiencing significant growth over the years, jobs located at the new site is the result of new growth and the consolidation of multiple facilities. Currently, 245 full-time employees occupy the facility with growth estimates of 300 employees by 2019.
“I am excited to be celebrating Jarden Home Brands today and welcome them to our community,” said FishersMayor Scott Fadness at the ribbon cutting on July 17. “Not only do they bring great paying jobs, but they embody the entrepreneurial spirit that is alive and well in Fishers, and I look forward to the company being a pillar in our community.”
Following the building dedication today, Jarden Home Brands hosted an open house for its employees’ families and friends that evening.
