From its beginnings, entrepreneurial spirit has inspired the leaders of Elkhart, Indiana. An undaunted courage to pursue dreams guided Dr. Miles to begin a pharmaceutical business at the turn of the century and influenced colonel Conn in the creation of band instruments. This same spirit has since directed enterprising men and women to build the area into a giant in American free enterprise.
The Elkhart region is the leader in the production of recreational vehicles and manufactured housing. Hundreds of manufacturers produce motor homes, travel trailers, campers, park models, mobile homes or the products used in RVs and manufactured housing.
Elkhart is also known as the "Band Instrument Capital of the World," a title earned int he last century when the C.G. Conn Company became the nation's largest manufacturer of band instruments.
Despite dominance in specific fields, Elkhart's industry is highly diversified. Other products made in the Elkhart area include valves and fittings, electronic components and subsystems, rubber sealants, carpet underlayment, amplified audio equipment, marine products, commercial vehicles, and industrial traile rs. Many manufacturing and distribution services are also mainstays of the economy, such as CNC machinging, steel fabrications, injection molding, contract packaging, wood milling, and warehousing.
