A local manufacturing business in Daviess County is celebrating 50 years in business.
K&K Industries began operations at their current site in Montgomery in 1972 under the leadership of Abe and Viola Knepp.
The family business, now in its 2nd and 3rd generation, employs around 120 people.
They have expanded to a second location in Loogootee.
General Manager Nelson Knepp spoke about his family’s business yesterday to the Washington Rotary Club with several other family members on hand and gave credit to the Good Lord for seeing them through some tough times, including a fire that wiped out the business in the 80’s and a tornado that did major damage about a decade ago.
K&K manufactures roof and floor trusses, prefab wall panels, specialty wall products, and other items for new homes and commercial projects.
