Manufacturer Alliance RV announced plans today to continue growing its Elkhart, Indiana-based operations, creating as many as 650 new jobs by the end of 2023.
The company launched its Elkhart operations in 2019 and invested more than $33 million to grow its manufacturing campus. Alliance already hired 75 employees toward its stated goal.
“Alliance RV is proud to be headquartered in the great state of Indiana,” company co-founder Coley Brady said. “Our knowledgeable workforce and the hard-working drive of our team has allowed us to grow at a rapid pace from inception while delivering exceptional product quality.”
In 2019, Alliance RV committed to creating up to 275 new jobs by the end of 2023. As a result of increased RV demand in 2020, the company already has created 350 full-time jobs in Elkhart. Founded by brothers Coley and Ryan Brady, Alliance RV serves 150 dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada.
“Home to more than 80 percent of North America’s RV production, Indiana continues to grow its reputation as the ‘RV Capital of the World’ thanks to companies like Alliance RV,” Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said. “Alliance RV has achieved phenomenal success ever since they opened their doors here in 2019, and we look forward to supporting them as they continue providing quality careers for Hoosiers.”
Alliance RV manages three manufacturing and office facilities totaling 254,000 square feet. The company plans to build two additional 120,000-square-foot production facilities to support increased fifth-wheel production.
Construction for the third and fourth buildings is slated to begin this spring with an expected completion in December.
“It is very promising that a company as new as Alliance is poised and ready to expand,” Elkhart Mayor Rod Roberson said. “Elkhart’s rich history in RV manufacturing gives companies like Alliance a workforce ready and able to meet accelerated RV production demand.”
Pending approval of the Indiana Economic Development Corp. (IEDC) board of directors, the IEDC will offer Alliance RV as much as $9.3 million in conditional tax credits based on the company’s plans to create up to 650 jobs by the end of 2023.
The IEDC also offered as much as $1.7 million in conditional tax credits from the Hoosier Business Investment (HBI) tax credit program, based on the company’s planned capital investment in Indiana. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives once Hoosiers are hired are investments are made. The city of Elkhart approved additional incentives.
The company is hiring for manufacturing positions. Interested applicants may apply online or by emailing [email protected].
