I love reading about this, especially the new manufacturing coming to Waverly! My hometown has such a great manufacturing campus that was formerly Shield Bantam, then Koehring-Bantam, Terex, and most recent CMI Roadbuilding. Now it will be home to Minnesota-based Revolution Concrete Mixers bringing new production and assembly operations to this existing facility and start up new production and assembly operations investing $18.2 million and is expected to create 275 jobs. Such a refreshing feel for this wonderful city. And Vinton for receiving the addition of Sewer Equipment Company of America bringing its fabrication operations to an existing facility there as well and creates 30 jobs. AND
CCB Packaging in Hiawatha is expanding its facility adding an automated production line to its food and pharmaceutical packaging company investing $13.3 million and creating nine jobs. LOVE THAT GROWTH!!!

Multiple eastern Iowa communities will see more jobs as several businesses received state grants to expand.
