LINCOLN, Nebraska – October 29, 2024 – Valley Irrigation’s Valley Center Pivot has been named the 2024 “Coolest Thing Made in Nebraska.” This is the competition’s third year, and it yet again garnered tens of thousands of votes.

Manufacturers, students, and all Nebraskans were invited to vote in a head-to-head, bracket-style matchup of 16 finalists to determine the 2024 winner. Learn about each of the finalists at nemanufacturingalliance.com.

“Nebraska’s Manufacturing sector is not one size fits all, and this contest really shows that,” said NE Chamber COO and Executive Vice President of Manufacturing, Mike Johnson. “This industry is vital to Nebraska, and this contest recognizes the creativity and ingenuity of Nebraska’s Manufacturers. There’s so much more to Nebraska Manufacturing than one might think, and this fun contest merely scratches the surface of the variety of amazing products manufactured right here in Nebraska.”

The champion was announced on October 29 at the NE Chamber’s Manufacturing Summit in La Vista by U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts. The 16 products featured in the tournament were also invited to display their products.

“This award is a testament to all the hard work, innovation and dedication our team pours into every single pivot,” said Valley Irrigation’s SVP of Product Excellence & Commercialization, Matt Ondrejko. “Our Center Pivot isn’t just a piece of machinery, it’s a symbol of Nebraska ingenuity and resilience. It represents generations of farmers committed to feeding our world sustainably and efficiently.”
​
The contest – hosted by the NE Manufacturing Alliance and powered by the NE Chamber – celebrates the state’s thriving manufacturing industry with Nebraska residents, students, educators, community leaders, manufacturers and especially, the vast number of Nebraskans working in manufacturing every day. The popular contest takes place during October while NE Manufacturing Month is celebrated each year.
