Medical device companies measure success in precision, efficiency, and speed. Hancock County, Indiana, provides a foundation that matches those priorities with move-in-ready industrial buildings, development-ready sites, and direct access to a workforce pipeline skilled in advanced manufacturing and life sciences.

For companies in orthopedic, cardiovascular, neurology, drug delivery, or ophthalmic device manufacturing, Hancock County offers strategic advantages that shorten timelines, reduce costs, and support scalable growth.

“Medical device companies want a place where they can grow without unnecessary hurdles,” said Randy Sorrell, Executive Director of the Hancock Economic Development Council. “Hancock County delivers that. We’ve got a strong talent pipeline from Indiana’s universities, lower costs that help stretch investment, and the infrastructure to support long-term success. It’s a winning combination that sets us apart from other locations.”

Industrial Assets That Accelerate Operations

Hancock County currently has 10 industrial buildings totaling 6.6 million square feet ready for immediate occupancy, along with three development-ready sites spanning 228 acres. These facilities were built with advanced manufacturing needs in mind, offering utility infrastructure, broadband connectivity, and site layouts that allow for flexible production configurations.

For medical device companies, this means less time spent preparing facilities and more time moving products to market.

Location Advantage for Medical Supply Chains 

Speed-to-market defines competitiveness in medical technology. Hancock County sits on Interstate 70 and connects quickly to I-65, I-69, and I-74, placing companies within a single day’s drive of 114 million consumers.

The county’s location also provides access to FedEx’s second-largest global hub at Indianapolis International Airport, handling more than two billion pounds of cargo annually. The UPS Worldport hub in Louisville adds another layer of international reach.
