DOING BUSINESS IN
SEYMOUR-JACKSON COUNTY INDIANA

Jobs for America’s Graduates students and specialists from Brownstown Central, Crothersville and Seymour High Schools participated in the inaugural JAG Day February 29th at Aisin World Corp. in Seymour. A big thank you to all who participated in this undertaking. No doubt JAG Day will become an annual event. Mark Handloser, Aisin’s general manager of human resources, was one of the day’s first speakers.
MFG Day is manufacturing’s biggest annual event that helps inspire the next generation of creators. Two hundred students from all five county high schools participated in workshops and tours to learn and celebrate. Thanks to our sponsors: Cummins, Aisin USA, Lannett, Pet Supplies Plus, Silgan and Dickson’s.
We celebrated the opening of the Industrial Maintenance Lab at the Jackson County Learning Center. This achievement is a result of a partnership between Vincennes University, JCIDC, Jackson County Education Coalition, and the Community Foundation of Jackson County. We are grateful for the support of Seymour Redevelopment Commission, Aisin, Cummins Seymour Engine Plant, and Valeo who provided matching financial support through the READI Grant.
This facility is a critical addition to our community, providing classes for those looking to develop skills and pursue career opportunities in the industrial maintenance field. Basic electrical and mechanical classes are beginning with more to follow in the future. We look forward to seeing the incredible impact the Jackson County Learning Center will have on our community for years to come.
“We’re thrilled to report that the Reality Fair was a hit! The 8th grade students of Seymour Middle School were engaged and learned valuable lessons on budgeting and financial management. A big thanks to the many community volunteers who generously gave their time to make this event a success!”
Indiana Secretary of Commerce David Rosenberg joined JCIDC and friends at our annual Reports Reviews and Rewards Luncheon held in October. He spoke about the many recent successes and how READI is making a difference in the South Central region.
We honored Jackie Hill for her 25 years of service to the Workforce Partnership. Under the umbrella of JCIDC, the JCIDC Workforce Partnership was established in 1998 with a goal to bring industry, schools, local elected officials, and economic development leaders together to make the county’s employers more competitive.
Trevor Lane received the Elmore-Kilgas award for making a difference in the economic and industrial landscape in Jackson County.

Centurion Rack Repair
Introducing the Centurion – Your Ultimate Rack Repair
Solution. Discover the power of innovation and superior
engineering with Centurion – the latest innovation in
pallet rack repair. Proudly manufactured right here in
Indiana, this exceptional product line includes the
Centurion Low Guard, Mid Guard, High Guard and Row
Guard – each designed to revolutionize the world of
rack repair and protection. Rack repair is a critical
process that focuses on rejuvenating damaged pallet
rack uprights, the vertical components that form the
backbone of industrial storage systems. Instead of the
costly and time-consuming task of replacing the entire
upright, which necessitates a complete offloading of the
rack’s contents, rack repair provides a practical
alternative. Innovative solutions like the Centurion
restore damaged areas to their original or even greater than
original strength. By choosing rack repair over
replacement, businesses can not only save on costs but
also reduce downtime while preserving the efficiency
and durability of their storage systems. This eco-friendly
approach minimizes waste and contributes to
sustainability. Built with heavy-duty design and
engineering excellence, the Centurion offers unmatched
durability, ensuring your pallet rack remains resilient
against the challenges of your industry. These solutions
are specifically crafted to repair damage caused by
forklifts, trucks, outriggers and more. The Centurion
Product Family stands out for its unbeatable
adaptability, offering adjustable components that can
be tailored to your specific needs. Its versatile design
accommodates various hole patterns, a feature that
sets it apart from some competitors, simplifying the
installation process.
