Founded in 1909, the Newton Manufacturing Company operated on a small staff consisting of 59 local employees and a nationwide support staff of 300. The employee-owned company manufactured and sold specialty advertising products before Newton Manufacturing declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy as of June 2015. Thereafter, the business was then purchased by Halo Branded Solutions, based in Sterling, Illinois.

In recent years, the City of Newton has made concerted efforts to promote growth and development within its business community using a proactive strategy of local resources combined with aggressive incentive packages. This approach has resulted in creating a thriving manufacturing base, which has spawned other support businesses throughout the area. Since 2007, a number of companies have started or moved to Newton, including: Underwriter's Laboratory, Trinity Structural Towers, TPI Composites, Caleris and others.

Joel Schneider, Senior Vice President with Hilco Real Estate added, "The auction represents a great opportunity for businesses, public/non-profit institutions, investors, or developers to acquire a highly-versatile property with tremendous upside potential for an incredibly attractive price."
