Sun Prairie company to expand, add 200 jobs

Thermal Spray Technologies Inc. has announced it will spend $11.5 million to expand its Sun Prairie facility and triple the size of its workforce. The company, which develops thermal spray coating solutions for industrial use, plans to completely renovate a 92,000-square-foot building it recently purchased near its existing facility by early 2015. The expansion is expected to create about 200 jobs over three years, and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. (WEDC) is providing the company up to $750,000 in tax credits, contingent on the number of jobs created and the capital investment the company makes. TST currently employs about 125 workers.
