CROTHERSVILLE — This month, Cerrowire is celebrating 25 years of production at its facility in the Crothersville Industrial Park.
For all the company has done for the community, it was recognized with a certificate of appreciation for excellence in community service during Tuesday night’s Crothersville Town Council meeting.
The purpose of the monthly award is to recognize a local resident, a club, an organization or a business that is an outstanding citizen and goes above and beyond to give back to the community to help make Crothersville a great place to live, council President Jason Hillenburg said.
Cerrowire is a leading U.S. manufacturer of copper building wire for residential, commercial and industrial applications. In addition to rugged and dependable products that are guaranteed, the company’s focus is on customer service and on-time delivery.
“Recently, this facility celebrated with a catered barbecue lunch for hitting their target goal of production shipped from October, November and December,” Hillenburg said.
He said Cerrowire also has provided many donations for the community, including playground equipment for Crothersville parks, Veterans Park sign and installation, Crothersville-Vernon Township Volunteer Fire Department, Crothersville Police Department, Tri-County Conservation Club, Crothersville Red, White and Blue Festival, Crothersville Youth League, Crothersville Elementary School basketball program and Crothersville High School’s boys basketball team and athletic department.
Also, in the spring of 2022, Cerrowire sponsored one of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce’s Stardust Movie Series movie showings at Bard Street Park.
“This month’s recipient exemplifies positivity and dedication and is generous with donations, and for that we are grateful,” Hillenburg said. “The town of Crothersville would like to congratulate Cerrowire for this month’s recipient of the certificate of appreciation.”
Plant Manager Rick Hernandez and Office Manager Holly Smith received a round of applause as they accepted the framed certificate on behalf of the company.
They shook hands with the three council members present for the meeting and were thanked for being part of the community.
