“We joined the Chamber because we wanted to become a more active and known member of the community. We feel we can offer chamber members a different perspective on manufacturing. We try to stay current in our practices by sticking with the times. We hope to contribute a fresh outlook and new ideas to the Chamber,” Stated Ray (Human Resource Manager).
Crown Cork has recently become an investor with us, and we are excited to have them as a part of the Chamber.
