Pence presented the Governor’s Century and Half Century Business Award to the companies Monday at the Statehouse.
The awards honor businesses that have stayed in operation for a minimum of 50 or 100 consecutive years and have also shown a commitment to community service.
"As Indiana celebrates its bicentennial, we honor the companies that have helped build a state with a record employment and continued economic growth," said Pence. "These companies, which have been growing and adding jobs here for at least 50 or 100 years, are an engine of our state’s economy. Their longevity sets a standard for excellence and has laid a foundation for each and every company choosing to start or grow here in Indiana today. Each one of these companies is an important part of our history and I’m confident they will play a key role in our state’s future."
