SOUTH BEND, IN – Elkhart Plastics is pleased to announce that Josh Thompson has joined the company as a Staff Accountant. Thompson is based out of the company’s South Bend, Ind., office, and responsible for all accounting functions at the Ohio City, Ohio, facility as well as special projects assigned by Elkhart CFO Jon Wyngarden.

Thompson previously worked at Elkhart as a summer intern. He recently earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Business with a concentration in accounting from Indiana University – South Bend.

“Josh has prior experience with working on a shop floor, so anytime you can marry that with accounting it allows for better understanding when discussions with machine operators are needed,” Wyngarden said. “He also brings a millennial touch to our organization and is analytical, direct, and dedicated.”

In addition to his summer position with Elkhart, Thompson previously worked at Hoosier Racing Tire as a shipping and receiving group lead. He is the first Elkhart intern to be offered a full-time position after finishing a degree.
