?MasterBrand is proud of its Indiana roots, which can be traced back nearly 70 years to Celestine, Indiana,? said Dave Banyard, President and CEO, MasterBrand. ?As a company, our purpose is building great experiences together and that would not be possible without our dedicated associates who make beautiful, functional and unique cabinets every day.?

Companies on the list are ranked according to annual sales. Four other Indiana firms rank among the top 35 companies on the list: Kimball International Inc. lands at No. 23, OFS Brands Inc. holds spot No. 31 and Genesis Products is No. 34.

"This industry is an incredible asset for Indiana agriculture," said Chris Gonso, ISDA's Hardwood Program Manager. "Many of our Hoosier companies have been on the FDMC list for many years, which shows how strong this industry is for economic potential in the agricultural industry."?
