MagicValley.com Jayco Inc. Jerome jail, redux ramps up production
By Joshua Palmer Times-News writer
Jayco Inc. said Wednesday it will hire 200 workers and boost production at facil- ities in Twin Falls and Middlebury, Ind., after sales outpaced inventories in the third and fourth quarters of 2009. Akos Sefcisk, gen- eral manager of Twin Falls operations, said his plant will hire as many as 30 addition- al workers, bringing its total payroll in Twin Falls to more than 180 employees. The plant employed about 200 before the national recession forced the company to lay off more than 40 people in October 2008. Jayco also consolidated its operations by moving production from the building at 621 Washington St. S., to the building in its 176-acre industrial park on Hankins Road. The recreational trailer manufacturer does not have plans to resume operations at the Washington Street location.
