Lindsay earns Chamber of Commerce honors

“The Nebraska Manufacturer of the Year award celebrates a company that pushes boundaries in manufacturing and enhances Nebraska’s competitiveness,” said Todd Bingham, NE Chamber President & CEO. “Being a global company, Lindsay Corporation still prioritizes its Nebraska roots, truly embodying what it means to be a Manufacturer in Nebraska. It’s an honor to celebrate Lindsay as the 2025 Nebraska Manufacturer of the Year.” 

Founded in 1955 as a farm equipment business in Lindsay, Nebraska, the company has grown into a global leader in irrigation and infrastructure solutions. Its worldwide network delivers smarter, safer and more sustainable operations—from agriculture to road safety to industrial technology. 

“We’re honored to be recognized by Nebraskans and fellow manufacturers as the Nebraska Manufacturer of the Year,” said Rich Harold, Senior Vice President of Global Operations. “Since our founding in 1955, Lindsay has grown from a local manufacturer into a global leader in irrigation and infrastructure solutions. Yet through all that growth, we’ve remained deeply rooted in Nebraska—committed to our people, our communities, and our values. Whether it’s helping farmers conserve water through smart irrigation or protecting lives on the road with our infrastructure products, Lindsay is proud to make a positive impact here in Nebraska and globally.” 

The award was presented Oct. 6 by Governor Jim Pillen during the NE Chamber Manufacturing Summit, sponsored by RSM US LLP.
