Blendex Company wins statewide award

Blendex Company has been named one of the 2005 winners of the Kentucky Manufacturer of the Year Awards, presented by Associated Industries of Kentucky.

"This award is intended to showcase entrepreneurial spirit, community leadership and policy contributions made by Kentucky maufacturers to the economic success of the commonwealth," Andrew Meko, president and CEO of Associated Industries of Kentucky, said in a news release.

One award is given in each of three categories: small (1 to 50 Kentucky-based employees), mid-size (51 to 250 Kentucky-based employees) and large (251 or more Kentucky based-employees).

The mid-size category winner is Louisville-based Blendex Co., which produces batters, breadings, seasonings and marinades.
