The Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce celebrated business excellence across South Central Kentucky on Thursday, October 1, during its 2026 Targeted Business Awards luncheon at the Knicely Conference Center in Bowling Green

The sold-out event welcomed more than 350 guests for an afternoon recognizing businesses and organizations that have demonstrated growth, innovation, investment and a strong commitment to their employees and communities.

Pinnacle Financial Partners served as the title sponsor, with additional support from Murphy Construction Group, Warren County Water District, Atmos Energy, BGMU Fiber, German American Bank, Independence Bank, Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College, Stuart Richey, Tennessee Valley Authority, Gerald Printing, Houchens Insurance Group, KIRIU USA LLC and Taz Trucking.

Three Morgantown companies were among some that received award recognitions, Corvac Composites, Delta Faucet and Page Trucking.

Corvac Composites was presented with the Green to Gold Award for its commitment to sustainable manufacturing and environmental responsibility. The company has implemented several initiatives designed to reduce energy use, emission and waste while improving efficiency and supporting continued growth. Corvac was the only company that won in this category.

Delta Faucet Company received two honors during the luncheon, an Anniversary Award and an Expansion Award. The Anniversary Award celebrated 40 years of manufacturing in Morgantown. The facility began in 1985 as Morgantown Plastics with just 25 employees and has grown into a major manufacturing operation employing approximately 250 people. Delta’s ongoing investment in its Morgantown operations highlights the strength of South-Central Kentucky’s manufacturing industry and its commitment to developing a skilled workforce.

Delta Faucet Company was also recognized with the Expansion Award. The award recognizes businesses that have expanded their operation during the past year through additional capital investment and the creation of new jobs for South-Central Kentucky residents. Delta’s recognition reflects the company’s continued investment and growth in its Morgantown operation and its ongoing role as an important employer in Morgantown.

Page Trucking was recognized in the Expansion Award category. The Morgantown company, which provides bulk trucking and material management services for the industrial and manufacturing sectors, recently announced an investment of more than $500,000 in its local facility, along with the addition of 10 full-time positions. The expansion includes new equipment, renovation of the facility and continued development of its diesel technical and driver apprenticeship programs.

There were 18 companies that were recognized for the Expansion Award, including Amcor, Carter Lumber, Delta Faucets, Dollar General of Bowling Green, Equity Medical, Hills Pet Nutrition, Inked Brands, International Paper, Ky Cold Storage, Novus Steel, Page Trucking, Pan-Oston, Sherwin-Williams, Southern Coil Solutions, Stupp Bridge, Trace Die Cast, Tyson Foods and Worthington Steel.

Other awards presented during the luncheon included the Healthcare Enterprise Award, presented to Med Center Health and TriStar Greenview; the Newcomer Award, presented to Greenball and Lebanon Power and Apparatus; and the Invitation Award, presented to Crown Brand Building Packaging. The Anniversary Awards also recognized Med Center Health, General Motors, Delta Faucets and Constellium.

The afternoon’s top honor, John B. Holland Business of the Year Award, was presented to AKFA Aluminum Solutions. The award recognizes a South-Central Kentucky company that makes a significant impact on the local economy, demonstrates continued investment and growth, and remains committed to employing residents.

Guests enjoyed a meal during the luncheon and heard from several featured speakers, including Dan Harbison of Pinnacle Financial Partners, Tim Page, President and CEO of the Bowling green Area Chamber of Commerce, and Secretary Jeff Noel of the Kentucky Cabinet for economic Development.

The awards luncheon served as a celebration not only of individual companies, but also of the continued economic development and business growth taking place throughout South-Central Kentucky.
