The provider of products and services ranging from the development of wireless information technology systems to integrated supply chain management and high-tech assembly services will invest more than $3 million to upgrade its technical support, engineering and logistics operations at the company’s corporate complex in the Indianapolis metro.
Named for the Greek word for support, Telamon employs nearly 260 workers in Carmel and has begun hiring managers, engineers, information technology specialists, assemblers, warehouse technicians and technical support employees.
With customers in the telephone, higher education, Internet service provider, government and equipment manufacturer industries, Telamon has grown to a $500 million annual company since its founding in 1985. In addition to its Carmel corporate complex, the company operates facilities in Chino, Calif.; Conway, Ark.; Levittown, Pa.; McAllen, Texas; Atlanta; Beijing; and Shanghai, China.
“As companies across the country and around the world look for cost-saving measures, Telamon is answering the call with a full suite of out-sourced technology solutions here in Indiana,” said Albert Chen, CEO of Telamon. “With customers and offices located around the world, we looked at several choices for this new operation and found that investing in Indiana was the best choice for us and our customers.”
The Indiana Economic Development Corp. offered Telamon up to $1.25 million in performance-based tax credits and up to $230,000 in training grants based on the company's job creation plans.
“Telamon has been a good corporate citizen in Carmel, and I am pleased with their continued commitment to our city,” said Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard. “Our focus and commitment to a high quality of life, such as our arts and design district, parks and trails, and cultural amenities, as well as our wonderful schools and library, are always key in attracting and retaining high-tech businesses in Carmel. This economic partnership with companies like Telamon is the reason our tax rates are among the lowest in the state.”
