Since 2004, Knauss Snack Food Company has called Martinsville-Henry County home. Originially based in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, the world's largest producer of naturally cured dried beef has created 140 new jobs and double-digit sales growth. And the company anticipates record growth over the next year. "We're glad that we moved here. We've got a great workforce, and a wonderful quality of life," says Brian Fleming, Knauss Snack Foods Executive. With room to expand and a strong workforce, no wonder it's easy to say that Knauss works here. To learn more about our business community, visit www.YesMartinsville.com.
