Maddux, assuming full ownership following the retirement of Krueger in 1979, chose to expand the greenhouse business in 1988. Farmland totaling 82 acres was purchased in the small town of Sunman, Indiana, located 45 miles west of the corporate headquarters in Cincinnati. A portion of the production at this new location started in 1989, while the entire production was eventually moved from the Devil’s Backbone Road location to Sunman in 1995.
Today, Krueger-Maddux Greenhouses provides plant material to retailers and wholesalers throughout Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. Our knowledgeable growers specialize in a variety of products including annuals, hanging baskets, combination planters, garden mums, poinsettias, and perennials. Thousands of these plants are grown in a glass range that covers 2.5 acres, 64 plastic covered Quonset houses, and 5.5 acres of land for outdoor growing production. On the edge of technology, Krueger-Maddux Greenhouses employs the use of the bioremediated process for its water supply by filtering and reusing natural water collected in ponds.
