Lafayette-based North Star Systems, which provides automation and monitoring services for a variety of industries, is expanding its workforce in Tippecanoe County. The company said Thursday it is adding 30 jobs to its operation, which is currently based out of the Matchbox coworking studio.
North Star Systems has developed products designed to help businesses in the agriculture, IT, and oil and gas industries, among others, streamline operations through remote pump monitoring and control, as well as tank monitoring systems.
“We are excited to expand our team as we continue to empower businesses with cutting-edge solutions,” CEO Nathan Smith said in a news release. “These new positions are not just jobs: they are opportunities for talented individuals to be part of a dynamic team that is shaping the future of agriculture, energy and IT.”
A spokesperson for North Star told Inside INdiana Business that the company had just three employees prior to the announcement and also works with three other subcontractor companies.
“These manufacturers span industries such as automotive, aerospace, ag-tech, heavy equipment, and life sciences among others,” Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski said. “They recognize the challenges faced by both large and early-stage companies and are dedicated to helping them scale successfully. North Star Systems is a key part of this ecosystem, and we expect this growth announcement will not be their last.”
The Indiana Economic Development Corp. has offered North Star up to $100,000 in conditional tax credits, which the company will not be eligible to claim until it meets its hiring goals of adding the 30 employees by the end of 2033.
