INDIANAPOLIS (April 13, 2026) - Indiana Governor Mike Braun will join Huntington Mayor Richard Strick and executives of Hanjung America tomorrow at 3 p.m. in Huntington to break ground on the company’s first U.S.-based manufacturing facility.

The company, which is a subsidiary of South Korea-based Hanjung NCS, plans to begin operating in June 2027 and expects full employment in Huntington to reach more than 440 jobs in the coming years.
