Humminbird, a leading maker of marine electronics, announced Tuesday it is creating 77 jobs at its plant in Barbour County through an expansion that will help the company meet strong consumer demand for its depth finders.

“Humminbird has grown significantly over the last six years and we expect it to continue to grow,” said Craig Packard, general manager of the company’s Alabama facility. “To increase our capacity to meet future demand, we are investing in growing our workforce and continuing to expand our facilities.”

Packard said the company plans to add the new positions by early fall, with direct assembly workers accounting for approximately half of the job openings. Humminbird is also recruiting for technicians, supervisors and positions in shipping, information technology, human resources and technical support.
