The company, whose customers include General Motors, Ford Motor Co., Chrysler and Nissan, said its $9 million investment will go toward leasing and equipping a 93,000-square-foot facility in the Steuben County town in northeast Indiana.
The new plant will produce under-hood and under-dash insulation for GM trucks and SUVs.

The town of Orland, about 50 miles north of Fort Wayne, will consider additional property-tax abatements.
Founded in 1971, CTA Acoustics is headquartered in Madison Heights, Mich., and also has manufacturing operations in Corbin, Ky.
