LAFAYETTE -- Greater Lafayette Commerce and Ryla, an Alorica Company, will take part in a ribbon cutting ceremony at 181 Sagamore Parkway S., at 2 p.m. on Nov. 1.

Greater Lafayette Commerce and Ryla, an Alorica company, are hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony in honor of the grand re-opening of the local Alorica Lafayette office that has been rebranded as Ryla. In April 2010, Alorica acquired Georgia-based Ryla.

Ryla provides customer service support for a Fortune 50 company, and allows Alorica to fulfill its commitment of generating at least 600 jobs in the Lafayette community, originally announced in 2009. Ryla specializes in providing inbound customer service for Fortune 500 companies and government agencies.

Transitioning the Alorica center to a Ryla-operated facility has been seamless, with the Lafayette management team remaining intact. The center’s existing 90 customer service employees have been offered the opportunity to apply for the 600 Ryla positions, the goal being to retain as many who are interested.

The Lafayette office is currently taking applications for new employees. For inquiries contact them directly at (765) 269-2304 or stop in the local location between the hours of 7 a.m. and noon.
