Above, the Ossian Revitalization Committee recognized Roembke Mfg. & Design, Inc. as the Ossian Business of the Year on Thursday evening. The business began with the owners, two employees and a 2,500 square foot family-owned building. Today, the family has grown to employ over 50 people in a state-of-the-art 62,000 square foot facility. Greg Roembke (left) now runs the business that his father, John Roembke (right) and mother Betty began in 1977.
