From 2010 to 2020, the Food and Beverage Processing industry has grown 14% nationally.
Across the nation, the demand for healthy, fresh, organic, local and ready-to-eat alternatives has steadily increased.

With our ample water supply, proximity to regional and national markets, as well as easy access to agricultural products, it’s no surprise that businesses like Hill Country Foodworks have found success here in Lockhart.
Logistics and Distribution
Lockhart’s central location and positioning along SH-130 provide quick access to I-10 and I-35, and easy access to Austin, San Antonio, and other major Texas metros, making us a natural location for distribution centers. This central positioning and proximity to major roadways allow businesses to capitalize on the ever-growing demands of shorter delivery times. Lockhart also offers large, flat industrial sites, easing the site-selection process.
Pharmaceutical, Medical Supplies, and Medical Device Manufacturing
The need for medical supplies in the United States and Texas continues to rise, and Lockhart’s talented manufacturing workforce, access to major roadways, land availability, and water service capacity make us a prime location for the production of medical goods including personal protective equipment.
