James Hardie Building Products in Peru is hiring to ramp up production.

“We have been hiring, actually, all year, due to the demand for our products,” said Dan Rizzi, human resources manager.
“We are ramping up and hiring,” he said. “It’s a general hire. We haven’t laid anybody off in this plant for over three years.”

The plant laid off workers in November 2006 and Jan 2007, Rizzi said. New hires now are not rehires of workers laid off then, he said.

The plant did not halt operations, but because of the economic downturn, slowed some operations, Rizzi said.
