AKRON, Ohio (Feb. 4, 2025) - CenterFlow®, the leading seed bin in the United States, has been honored as one of the 16 “Coolest Things Made in the Ozarks” by the Springfield Business Journal, a news publication covering southwest Missouri. The journal recognized CenterFlow for its uniqueness, innovation, and economic impact.
The Springfield Business Journal has named Buckhorn's CenterFlow a "Coolest Thing Made in the Ozarks" based on its uniqueness, innovation, and economic impact.
Produced in Springfield, Mo., by Buckhorn, a Myers Industries Company, CenterFlow is the nation’s No. 1 rigid bulk container for seed. For nearly 25 years, Buckhorn has proudly supplied CenterFlow to many of the country’s leading seed brand producers, who use it to safely transport hybrid seed to U.S. corn and soybean farmers. These crops are essential to the agriculture industry and everyday life, playing a key role in the production of food, beverages, and household products.
Buckhorn designed CenterFlow as a safer, sustainable, and more efficient alternative to flexible poly bags. The product enhances safety for farmers and seed production workers, improves product security during transport and storage, and optimizes floor space through vertical storage.
“This recognition highlights the ingenuity and quality of CenterFlow, a staple in the agriculture industry,” said Jason Gearhart, Manager of Sales for CenterFlow. “We’re proud to be part of a product that supports farmers, contributes to the economy, and makes a vital impact on our lives. We also appreciate the Springfield Business Journal for showcasing this exceptional product.”
The Springfield Business Journal will celebrate the honorees at an event on Feb. 24 in Branson, Mo., where CenterFlow team members will accept the official award. The event also includes the Voter’s Choice Award, and the public is encouraged to support CenterFlow by casting votes online through Feb. 14.
