State awards annual Century and Half Century Awards, applauding companies with 100+ and 50+ years in business 

INDIANAPOLIS (Aug. 15, 2024) – Governor Eric J. Holcomb joined Indiana Secretary of Commerce David Rosenberg today to celebrate longstanding Hoosier businesses, awarding the Governor’s Century and Half Century Business Award to 48 businesses in recognition of each company’s longevity and its impact on the state’s economy, communities and people.  

"Indiana continues to prove why we have one of the best economic climates for entrepreneurship and small business creation," said Gov. Holcomb. "That strong economic foundation was set by these businesses that have chosen to call the Hoosier state home for the last 50 to 100 years. The lifeblood of our growing economy is our Hoosier entrepreneurs and business owners who had the courage to turn a vision into reality, and I'm honored to recognize each and every one of these leaders today for their exemplary commitment to our state and their communities."

The Governor’s Century and Half Century Business Awards honor Hoosier businesses that have remained in operation for a minimum of 100 or 50 consecutive years, respectively, and have demonstrated a commitment to community service. More than 1,250 Indiana companies have been recognized during the award’s 33-year history.
