INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Kinetrex Energy, the leading supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the Midwest, won the title of 2019 Indiana Small-Tier Manufacturer of the Year, at the Indiana Manufacturers Association’s (IMA) 2019 Hall of Fame Luncheon, held on October 16, 2019, at the Biltwell Event Center, in Indianapolis. The award was given as a part of the IMA’s Manufacturing Excellence Awards, which recognized Indiana manufacturing companies and individuals, in various categories, for their positive achievements and contributions to the industry.
“I am very proud of the entire Kinetrex organization and what has been accomplished in terms of manufacturing leadership in a relatively short amount of time,” said Aaron Johnson, CEO of Kinetrex Energy. “While the team’s success is certainly not a surprise to those of us that work alongside one another on a daily basis, affirmations from respected organizations such as the IMA are certainly well received.”
Kinetrex Energy was selected from nominations received from the manufacturing community, and competed against other world-class manufacturers for the award.
“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 Kinetrex Energy for its outstanding work and continued dedication to making Indiana manufacturing a positive, driving force for the state.”
As the most manufacturing-intensive state in the nation, Indiana is the number-one wage payer and employer of Hoosiers. Additionally, manufacturing continues to be the number-one job creator in Indiana, employing more than 545,000 in the state.
