From grocery to fast food restaurants to bar-coded labels for virtually anyone who ships products through distribution, Heartland Label is there. We are a nationwide company with multiple manufacturing facilities, state-of-the- art manufacturing processes and exceptional customer service. The "heart" of Heartland, however, is its people. We believe in hiring great people, training them well and giving them personal responsibility for results. Everything we do centers on a set of core values that supports our people and enables them to become their best. During each of the last two years, we have been extremely proud to have "All Star" winners from our company. In 2016, Josh Buman received the award for his tremendous contributions as a lead back utility (material handler). This year, Amos DeCoster won for his leadership and overall performance in our coating operation. Josh and Amos represent what is possible at Heartland. They both came from different careers at other companies but were able to assimilate well and flourish at Heartland because of their desire to get involved and work as a team to drive improvement. For 26 consecutive years, Heartland Label Printers has grown its business and increased the size of its workforce, never once having a layoff. With strong core values guiding us, a base of great employees and a strong position in the markets we serve, Heartland is poised for continued growth and success in the future.
