Company Need:

As a result, the company needs to expand.

Testimonial:

“We are thrilled to enter this next phase of scaling the business at our new home in Perrysburg. The key to our footprint in Northwest Ohio is our people.  We want to continue to build this collaborative culture and encourage our new team members to place roots in the area.  This new location will allow us to better showcase talent and attract recruits with the welcoming surroundings of Northwest Ohio.  In fact, we are already working towards relocating a new team member into the area from out of state.”
