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:

Lisle Corporation

Since 1903, this family owned business has called Clarinda home. The 300 employees of Lisle produce automotive specialty tools and OEM parts for the aerospace, automotive, equipment and machinery industries. CEO John Lisle relates his feelings about Lisle employees, "Lisle Corporation has greatly benefited from the excellent work force here in Clarinda. The work ethic and educational level of the Clarinda area citizens provide an outstanding employee base which is so vital to a growing business."

NSK and NSK-AKS

NSK (a Japanese owned ball bearing manufacturer) first located in Clarinda in 1975. Since then, NSK has 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.
