GERMAN COMPANY TO
CALL EAST LINCOLN HOME
By

DENVER
-- Rainy weather last Thursday didn't
dampen spirits of Lincoln County officials, as
ground was broken on a new German manufacturer in
eastern Lincoln County.
The 50 year old
company, based in Straubing, Germany,
manufacturers bulk material handling equipment.
The company will invest more than $5 million into
a 48,000 square-foot parts, distribution,
training and technical support center in east
Lincoln. More than 20 jobs will be coming to
Lincoln, a county that's experienced a mixed bag
of economic news as of late.
With the closing
of Robert Bosch Tools and Cochrane Furniture and
the recent announced expansion of Hof Textiles,
county leaders like county commission chairman
Tom Anderson are hoping the economic upswing of
companies wanting to locate in Lincoln continue.
"It's
exciting that Sennebogen is the second German
company to make an announcement within the last
two weeks," said Anderson at the
groundbreaking.
Constantino
Lannes, president of Sennebogen, called the
assistance of Lincoln Economic Development
Association (LEDA) "outstanding."
"We have
the utmost confidence in LEDA and their ability
to support our growth now and in the
future," said Lannes.
The facility is
expected to be in operation in early 2009.
