Vandor Corporation, a leading innovator in reel manufacturing and funeral and cremation products, announced it was presented with a New Investment Award from the EDC of Wayne County, Indiana. The prestigious award recognizes Vandor’s significant contributions to developing and impacting the local community.
In November 2024, Vandor Group, Inc. purchased 1400 Industries Road in Richmond, Indiana – the former Dana/Wolverine office building. With this expanding footprint in Wayne County, Vandor has consolidated its shared services staff into one location: a Customer Care center, a Starmark Products showroom, and an R&D Center.
“Collaborating with the EDC of Wayne County and the City of Richmond has been an exceptional experience. At Vandor, we value the spirit of partnership and look forward to building on this momentum to create even more growth and opportunities for the Richmond community.” Vandor CFO Cynthia Stamper
Vandor was honored alongside two other Wayne County Corporations, Richmond Beverage Solutions and Transcendia Inc., who also invested in manufacturing equipment, facilities, and the people of Wayne County in 2024.
In 2024, the EDC of Wayne County helped the three corporations invest $67.8 million in new investments and created 118 full-time jobs in the Richmond, Indiana, area.
