(Kendallville, Indiana) - Taylor Made Group, a manufacturer of original equipment and aftermarket products, plans to expand its operations here and double its 50-person workforce in the next two years.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Taylor Made Group up to $275,000 in performance-based tax credits and up to $35,000 in training grants based on the company's job creation plans. The city will also provide a tax abatement.
