Indiana 105.5 FM: 3 NWI Companies Receive Century/Half Century Business Awards
Three northwest Indiana companies were among the 44 honored today by Governor Eric Holcomb with the Governor’s Century or Half Century Business Award. The awards recognize each company for its longevity and service to its employees, community and the state, and nearly 15-hundred Hoosier companies have been recognized during the 27-year history of the award.
“Today we honor Hoosier business leaders who have been creating jobs and running their businesses in Indiana for more than 50 or 100 years,” said Gov. Holcomb. “I’m excited to celebrate this year’s award recipients and extend a sincere thanks for the role they play in making Indiana one of the nation’s top destinations for business.”
Locally, family-owned DeMotte Mercantile & Sell It Again was a Century Award recipient. Austgen Electric Inc. in Lake County and Robert Tylisz Appliance in La Porte County each received Half Century Awards.
