LA PORTE, Ind. — Hundreds of jobs are coming to LaPorte County.

Dallas-based Corsicana Mattress Company will set up a factory in La Porte and create up to 350 new jobs by the end of 2023.

“It is a great day to welcome Corsicana Mattress to the Hoosier state,” said Indiana Secretary of Commerce Jim Schellinger. “Indiana’s strong history of manufacturing, central location, and skilled talent pipeline will set Corsicana up for success for generations to come.”

The LaPorte facility will house the company’s growing boxed-bed manufacturing and is expected to be operational by the end of the year.

“We have had significant growth in our boxed bed business and require a facility that is appropriately equipped with well-trained employees to provide the manufacturing efficiency to support that growth,” said Michael Thompson, chief executive officer of Corsicana Mattress. “Indiana was a great location for us and the local, regional and state agencies we worked with have been very helpful and welcoming throughout this process.”

Corsica Mattress will immediately begin hiring and training employees for manufacturing and warehouse positions at a temporary space in Michigan City. Anyone interested in a position may apply online.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) offered Corsicana Mattress Company up to $2.3 million in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives once Hoosiers are hired. The LaPorte County Council and County Commissioners approved additional incentives.
