Hoosier Racing Tire, the world’s largest manufacturer of racing tires, has earned the esteemed title of the “Coolest Thing Made in Indiana”, as bestowed by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
“We are very honored and humbled to receive the award for the Coolest Thing Made in Indiana contest,” said Joerg Burfien, President and CEO of Hoosier Racing Tire. “Thank you to all that have supported us, and thank you to our employees. Our dedicated employees go above and beyond to ensure our customers get the tires they need and want. I am proud of our workforce and the efforts they put forth on a daily basis.”
In a celebration of the state’s extensive manufacturing history, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce embarked on a quest to identify and acknowledge the Coolest Thing Made in Indiana. Despite stiff competition from a pool of 47 businesses, Hoosier Racing Tire emerged victorious through a global fan vote. In each round of voting, all candidates began with a clean slate and zero votes. Week after week, Hoosier fans rallied to support and propel them to victory.
“It really is a special honor to receive this award,” said Mark Spence, VP of Technology and Manufacturing. “It was great to see the support we have received from the community. We do make a cool product. There is a lot more that goes into a racing tire than most people realize. It is somewhat of an art and a skill that we teach our employees. Now everyone knows how cool our tires are.”
Hoosier Racing Tire boasts a robust Indiana heritage, as the company launched its humble beginnings in Lakeville, Indiana in 1957.
