Local Industry Testimonials

"Southeast Tube Company was established in 1984 and has undergone numerous changes in the past twenty years.  The initial plans were to support local automotive suppliers.  However, with higher profit margins in the furniture and material handling industries, Southwest Tube's marketing strategies have changed.  With companies located in Ohio, Alabama, and Tennessee, Cadiz became the ideal geographical location for our tubing division.  Cadiz has excellent industrial support facilities.  The utility cost, taxes, shipping logistics and cost of living further enhance Cadiz's ability and desire to support future industrial growth.  We look forward to a long and prosperous future in Cadiz, Kentucky."

"Superior Walls by Carr Mitchell, Inc. manufactures and installs a precast insulated concrete wall and foundation system.  This wall system is commonly used for residential basement applications but can also be used for above grade and in light commercial buildings. The wall panels are made from high-strength steel and fiber reinforced 5000 psi concrete with extruded and expanded polystyrene insulation.  The wall system is energy efficient and quickly installed saving valuable time and money for the buyers.

The Superior Walls territory is wide-ranged covering southern Indiana to the Alabama state line.  The owners had many choices to locate the manufacturing facility and chose Trigg County because of its labor market, infrastructure available, and the support of the local community towards industry in general."

"Ethridge Plastics, Inc. has been in Trigg County since 1991.  It was no question when we decided to build here in Trigg County that it was a great place to raise your family and could work without having to drive out of town for a good job.  The people and their work ethics in our community make Trigg County proud.  Our location is 0.7 miles from the interstate I-24 and with this accessibility it makes it easy when shipping parts by trucking lines.  We truly live and work in a great community!
