For more than a century, the Hillenbrand name has represented a family tradition of quality and service that extends to our customers, employees and investors. The Hillenbrands settled in Batesville, Indiana, where Hillenbrand, Inc., maintains its headquarters. As a publicly traded company, we're focused on opportunities to build a family of companies that place a high priority on excellence in manufacturing, distribution, customer service and leadership development.

Our core operating company, Batesville Casket Company, exemplifies those corporate values. Purchased in 1906 under John Hillenbrand's leadership, Batesville Casket has grown to be a leading manufacturer and supplier of burial caskets, cremation products and related services to licensed funeral professionals operating licensed funeral homes. The company employs approximately 3,400 people at numerous manufacturing, sales and distribution facilities throughout North America.
