The governor got together with officials of Mitsubishi Corp. in Tokyo on Tuesday to announce a $40.6 million expansion of the Indiana Packers Corp. plant in Delphi.

 

The expansion will add 91 jobs in the next year at the northern Indiana plant and boost Indiana Packers’ total employment at its two Indiana pork-processing plants to more than 2,000 people.

 

The aim of the expansion: to produce more bacon, ham, sausage and other pork products. The news came during Pence’s trade mission to Japan.
