FOOD+BEVERAGE

Shelby County, Indiana’s rich agricultural heritage makes us an ideal site for companies in the food and beverage industry. The fields in and around our county continue to be among the most productive in the nation, and local workers grew up understanding the importance of food to the world and the nation’s economic health.

Local workers bring the skills that food and beverage companies need, along with something just as important — a strong sense of personal responsibility and pride in working with quality and precision.

When you combine those advantages with abundant, affordable supply of water and plenty of electricity at low rates, you’ll understand why food-related leaders like Klosterman Industrial Baking Company, Park 100 Foods, and Penske Logistics Cold Storage and Distribution prosper in Shelby County.
