The Indiana Manufacturers Association (IMA) held its 2018 Indiana Manufacturers Hall of Fame Luncheon on October 24, 2018, at the Biltwell Event Center in Indianapolis. The goal of the Indiana Manufacturers Hall of Fame is to celebrate and recognize the positive achievements made by Indiana manufacturing companies, and to honor their contributions to furthering manufacturing in Indiana.

The companies that are inducted have made outstanding contributions to the development of a healthy, dynamic environment in Indiana, and to the State’s overall economic well-being. Wabash MPI/Carver is honored this year to be a recipient and has been a member of the IMA since 1952.

Beth Gillespie, General Manager of Wabash MPI/Carver, says they are proud to provide equipment to other manufacturing facilities. She knows that the company is the best it can be because of all of the hard work past and present employees have put in to make it what it is today. “IMA is an important partner in the longevity of our business. They provide resources for HR, law, lobbying in the statehouse and overall best practices for manufacturing industries.”
