This year's honorees hail from various locations, including Evansville, Indianapolis, Jasper, Noblesville, Poseyville, Sharpsville, and Urbana. "It’s a pleasure to once again honor Indiana’s manufacturers emphasizing strong workplace cultures and employee well-being," said Vanessa Green Sinders, President and CEO of the Indiana Chamber. She added that manufacturing serves as an economic anchor and provides career advancement opportunities for Hoosiers.
