Employer Highlights

The Delaware community continues to grow and expand; housing, schools and business. This has helped JEGS attract a great workforce to service its customers and over 1 million packages shipped annually. Delaware has become quite the home for JEGS.  - The Coughlin Family

Let's face it; it's good to feel good about what you're doing and Delaware is all about opportunity to create your own business culture, to be invested in a business community where relationships and people matter, to work within a sophisticated business and government environment. That was a massive upside for us. The value is priceless.   - Mike Berichon, President and CEO of Mediu

Manufacturing entities find it easy to make themselves at home in the City of Delaware.   - Carl Johnson, PPG Plant Manager
