Fourteen high-tech jobs will be among the 20 added at LeanCor, LLC, a third-party logistics provider based in Florence, Ky. LeanCor trains and consults on logistics operations services to companies, helping them eliminate organizational waste and drive down costs. The company was founded in 2005 by Robert Martichenko to address the logistics needs of lean manufacturers and retailers. The company is currently developing a program that will automate transportation management and communications for supply chain functions. The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority approved a $350,000 forgivable loan for the company. Additionally, $150,000 through the state’s Kentucky Jobs Development Act program was approved for LeanCor to support the development and implementation of program, called the Lean Supply Chain Optimizer. The company expects to more than double its office space from 2,300 square feet to 6,000 square feet to accommodate the growth of its staff.
