WARSAW — Illinois-based Banner Medical Innovations Inc. will break ground next week on its first Indiana facility in Warsaw. The medical-grade raw material supplier says the $6 million project will result in up to 76 jobs by 2019.

The groundbreaking is set for 2 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25. The company hopes to begin operations at the Warsaw facility early next year.

Banner currently employs around 150 full-time associates throughout North America and plans to begin hiring for machine operating, sales, quality/compliance and administrative positions this fall. The company says the new facility will be large enough to accommodate future expansions.
