Why Greendale?

BWF leadership identified Greendale as a strong location for the company's next chapter in North America because of its business environment, strategic location, workforce, and ability to support the company's long-term operational objectives.

For Greendale, the project brings international manufacturing investment and new employment while strengthening the economic connection between southeastern Indiana and a German-based global company.

Successful site selection happens when the needs of the company and the objectives of the community can create value together.
