Existing Clarinda Industry
Clarinda is truly fortunate to have developed a
vibrant industrial base. The one constant behind the success of our local
industries is the productivity of the local labor force. Among the companies
located in Clarinda are:

NSK (a Japanese owned ball bearing

expanded its Clarinda operation 16 times. In 1988, NSK formed a joint
venture with AKS (a Japanese steel ball manufacturer) to produce steel
balls. Today, more than 500 employees work for these two international
businesses. According to Charlie Richardson, NSK-AKS Plant Manager, "The
Clarinda plant has been very successful over the last 20 years. We are
always looking for new and better ways to do business. This is possible
because of the great team members we have. The City of Clarinda and Iowa
Western Community College have been very cooperative during all of our
expansion projects. NSK-AKS and the community of Clarinda are truly
partners." |

H&H
Trailers
H&H Trailer Company was co-founded in August of 1993 by Calvin, Curtis,
and Craig Hull. The original plant, located in Braddyville, manufactured flatbed
and utility trailers with the first trailer coming off the production line
December 31, 1993, which the Hull brothers still have today.
The Hull brothers started H&H from the ground up, each of them taking on
various aspects of manufacturing to ensure a quality product. Moreover, that
same foundation of quality remains today.
Currently H&H Trailer Company has 4 production facilities, the original in
Braddyville and 4 in Clarinda, and has 300+ dealers throughout the United
States, Canada, and Germany.
Our philosophy - we are in the business of helping other people make money in
the trailer industry. We feel we are able to accomplish this feat simply because
we use quality materials to manufacture a high-end product.

Clarinda
Treatment Complex
Originally known as the Clarinda Mental
Health Institute, the CTC has evolved into a multi-functional state
facility that now includes a mental hospital and a correctional facility
that share many services with the privately owned Clarinda Academy. A new
750 bed medium security prison was opened on the CTC Campus in 1996.
Clarinda was awarded this facility by the State of Iowa in a highly
competitive bidding process because of the hard work and cooperation of
the community leaders and the CTC staff.
