Consumer Reports ranks grill made in Huntington as best in class

The “large” gas grill category is defined as having room for 30 or more burgers. 

The award-winning Patriot grill is one of several models manufactured and distributed at Onward’s grill production center at 1000 East Market Street, Huntington, Ind.

 "This is an amazing honor and great publicity for Huntington, Onward Manufacturing and its employees,” said Mark Wickersham, executive director of Huntington County Economic Development. “Congratulations to all—we couldn’t be prouder! This kind of national recognition simply confirms what we already know: that our highly skilled workforce can compete with anyone in the marketplace.”
