“As a member of the Manufacturing Caucus, I am pleased to rise in support of National Manufacturing Day on October 4. In northern Indiana, we have a great story to share. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Elkhart County was named number three on the U.S. Department of Commerce's list of counties with the fastest growing job growth. Much of this increase is attributed to the RV manufacturers and suppliers that provide products and create great jobs. I'd like to highlight one recent accomplishment of Drew Industries in Elkhart. A parent company of Lippert Components and Kinro, this RV manufacturing supplier has strengthened our Hoosier economy. Together, they employ over 4,000 Hoosiers in Elkhart County. The Elkhart Truth reports that the company plans to add 800 more jobs in 2017, expanding operations in Elkhart and Goshen. The manufacturing industry has pumped life back into northern Indiana, and once again Hoosiers are leading the way. ____________________”
