ROCKINGHAM COUNTY NC NEWS -- TigerTek Industrial Services will expand, creating 40 jobs and investing $1 million during the next three years. A re-manufacturer of electric servo motors, pumps, gearboxes and components, TigerTek is based in Eden, North Carolina, which is located in Rockingham County. The company additionally provides custom machining and electro-mechanical repair services. TigerTek's average weekly wage for the new jobs will be $811 plus benefits, but will vary by job function. These wages are more than the Rockingham County average weekly wage of $555 not including benefits.

Peter Mitchell, president of TigerTek Industrial Services said, "Rockingham County has provided us with a great base for our repair operations. Many of North Carolina's manufacturing plants are now more highly automated with extremely complex production equipment. These plants require rapid repair response times. TigerTek has assembled a team of highly skilled maintenance technicians who can handle these complex repairs."

TigerTek Industrial Services has also accepted a $12,000 One North Carolina Fund grant to help facilitate their expansion. Governor Easley, announcing the grants approval said, "TigerTek's decision to expand in Eden reflects the value companies see in North Carolina's talented workforce."

Other contributors who partnered together to secure this economic development for TigerTek Industrial Services include: the North Carolina Department of Commerce, Rockingham County and the Rockingham County Economic Development Partnership.
