A California-based maker of magnetic components and related products for high-tech applications is opening a plant in Tucson that is expected to employ up to 200 people in five years.
Integrated Technologies Group (ITG), based in Culver City, Calif., has purchased a 25,000-square-foot building in Butterfield Business Park at 3590 E. Columbia St. from Applied Energetics Inc., which is moving to smaller quarters nearby.
ITG expects the new Tucson facility to begin operations by late 2012.
Looking to expand to meet growing demand, the company chose Tucson partly because of its location between the Los Angeles area and a plant ITG opened in Nogales, Sonora, in 2008, said ITG President Anil Nanji.
