A Central Kansas city is seeing a bright start to the year with the expansion of a local plant, according to a published report.
The $16 million investment in the Hospira facility in McPherson will see the hiring of more than 100 employees broken down in the industries of manufacturing, engineering and work in laboratories, The McPherson Sentinel reports. The company manufactures and provides injectable drugs and is planning to augment the size of its facility by 28,000 square feet.
“Hospira has already started hiring for this and other projects and expects to increase employment by at least 100 employees,” human resources director Charlotte Pinkall with the McPherson facility told the news source.
Engineering jobs also are projected to grow in San Francisco where Yammer intends to double the size of its firm from 300 to 600 this year, FINS reports. The social networking site for the business sector started with 100 employees in 2011, since when it has tripled in size.
Most of the engineers who are hired will be tasked to the San Francisco office. The company also has facilities in London, Australia and New York.
