"Having expanded production and diversified its goods to cutting-edge, high-quality products for many industries, Empire has demonstrated a superior level of innovation, industry leadership, and job creation, without compromising its promise to its employees and community. LADCO and the Coulee region are truly fortunate to have this company in our backyard, and it was LADCO’s honor and an easy choice to recognize Empire with its Manufacturer of the Year Award at its 23rd Annual Industry Appreciation event."
