“EMCO is a respected name in manufacturing locally,” said Mike Blouin, President & CEO of the Partnership. “With eight different languages spoken by employees throughout the company, it is a marvelous success story of how a company can cross cultures in a manufacturing setting and make it work to everyone’s advantage.”
“With EMCO management remaining in place, I know we can continue to expect the same economic success for the company and it’s 700 employees,” said Darryl Gosnell, Executive Vice President of Economic Development for the Partnership. “Andersen Corporation also has a reputation for commitment to its business partners, employees, and community. We have been assured that there will be very few changes to the operation here, and we are already working with EMCO’s management on an expansion which we expect will bring up to 60 new local jobs.”
The available positions include Consumer Service Representatives and Production Associates. Applications will be accepted immediately, and interested parties should contact Randy Ross, EMCO’s Director of Human Resources at (515) 265-6101.
