?Indiana is proud to be ranked as a top producer for so many wood products and to supply a large number of Hoosiers with good paying hardwood manufacturing jobs,? said Lt. Gov.

?As a company, we?re dedicated to creating cabinets that help make homes beautiful, functional and unique, and our success is due our hardworking associates,? said David Banyard, president, MasterBrand Cabinets. ?The roots of MasterBrand Cabinets can be traced back nearly 70 years to Celestine, Indiana, and while we?ve grown significantly since then, we?re proud to still call Indiana home.?

Companies on the list are ranked according to annual sales. Three other Indiana firms rank among the top 35 companies on the list: Kimball International Inc. lands at No. 21, OFS Brands Inc. holds spot No. 31 and Genesis Products is No. 34.

?Having many Indiana headquartered companies on this list is something we are proud of. I also want to recognize the companies that are not based in Indiana, but have a manufacturing facility here. This goes to show that Indiana is a good place to do business and having these companies in Indiana increases the value of Indiana hardwoods,? said Bruce Kettler, director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture [ [link removed] ].
