“The Indiana Manufacturers Association instituted the Indiana
Manufacturers Hall of Fame in 2015 to help bring awareness and
recognition to the many positive contributions of Hoosier
manufacturers. And this year we’ve added the Manufacturing
Excellence Awards to focus and honor companies in specific areas of
achievement,” said IMA President and CEO Brian Burton. “We
congratulate Kimball Electronics, Inc. for its outstanding work and
continued dedication to making Indiana manufacturing a positive,
driving force for the state.”
“We are ecstatic to receive this prestigious recognition by the
IMA and the great manufacturing state of Indiana,” says Don
Charron, Chairman and CEO, Kimball Electronics. “Though the
award was based upon our being an ‘Indiana’ company, we know that
without the efforts and accomplishments of our people throughout
the world, this IMA award would have not been possible. It
reflects one of our key Guiding Principles, ‘Our People Are The
Company.’ This is also a great time to express our deep
appreciation of our lasting relationship with the IMA.
Kimball Electronics and the IMA make a good team, and together we
hope we can do even more to grow Indiana’s reputation as one of the
most important manufacturing states in the nation.”
