Manufacturer V Tech Conversions is investing more than $2.5 million to start and scale its operations in Plymouth, Marshall County, over the next several years. The company has already built out and equipped a 16,000-square-foot facility at 2525 Western Ave. after acquiring the space in June, and it launched initial production in July. V Tech Conversions specializes in developing mobile workspaces, including fiber splicing lab units designed for fiber optic installation and maintenance crews as well as underground inspection units to support companies inspecting underground utilities, sewer systems and related infrastructure.
The company has already hired 11 associates and plans to grow its team to 25 in the coming years to support its customer base of municipalities, utility providers and infrastructure companies. New positions are expected to offer average wages at 165% of the Marshall County average.
“We chose Plymouth because this is home. We believe in building our future right here, surrounded by the people and community that helped shape who we are,” said the V Tech Conversions leadership team: President Wayne Nifong and Managing Partner Derek Nick. “Our vision for growth is simple: never sacrifice quality for quantity. We’re committed to building products we’re proud to put our name on, products our customers can depend on, and products that are built to last. For us, success isn’t measured only by how much we grow—it’s measured by the reputation we build, the trust we earn, and the quality we leave behind.”
“Indiana has a long history of excellence in advanced manufacturing, making our state the right pick for V Tech Conversions to start and scale with confidence,” said Gov. Braun. “The company’s presence in the South Bend-Elkhart region will contribute to a robust and growing regional economy while creating new, high-wage career opportunities that allow Hoosiers to prosper.”
“We want Indiana to be the best place in America to start a business, grow a business and build a great career,” said Indiana Secretary of Commerce Chuck Goodrich. “V Tech Conversions is a great example of what that looks like – a homegrown company investing in its community, creating high-wage jobs and building products that support critical infrastructure. Our job in commerce is to help companies like V Tech grow faster so they can create more opportunities for Hoosiers and strengthen Indiana’s economy.”
