International minerals supplier to open first U.S. facility at Ports of Indiana-Jeffersonville to support green manufacturing
Lumina Sustainable Materials will invest $14.3 million initially at the Jeffersonville port to establish a multimineral processing facility, logistics base, and test laboratory to serve the rapidly growing polymers, electronic glass, coatings, aerospace, building and construction markets. The new operation, located at 1302 Port Road, aims to add 50 full-time jobs by 2027 with an average wage of $35 per hour.
“The total value package offered by Ports of Indiana and the State of Indiana is unmatched,” said Lumina Sustainable Materials CEO Brian Hanrahan. “The ability to ship by barge into the Midwest, to leverage logistics facilities and services, and to partner with the port on future expansions and container exports makes Jeffersonville a perfect place for our U.S. processing and research facility. We mapped our target customers for the polymers, coatings and construction industries, and Jeffersonville is in the center of it all.”
