WILMINGTON,
OH – November 1, 2005 - AddisonMckee, a global leader in the tube
bending and end-forming market, announced today it has broken ground on
the company’s new location in Lebanon, Ohio. In a ceremonial event,
AddisonMckee President, Joe Eramo, was joined by Chris Smith from the
State of Ohio Governor’s Office of Economic Development, Amy Brewer,
Mayor of Lebanon, Pat Clements, City Manager, as well as many other
local government officials, company employees, and special guests.
“This
ground-breaking serves as a visible sign of AddisonMckee’s commitment
to our future by making the necessary changes to ensure that we remain
a global leader in our industry and are prepared to meet the challenges
of the 21st century,” commented Mr. Eramo during the ground breaking
ceremony, “Without the State and Local Government’s commitment to this
project and to business development in this community as a whole, we
would not be here today. It is through these efforts that
manufacturing jobs will stay here in the United States and not be
shipped abroad.”
