WOOSTER The STAHL/Scott Fetzer Co. is celebrating its 75th year in business with a new building project.
The company manufactures a variety of commercial truck equipment ranging from service truck bodies and ARBORTECH chip bodies to cranes. A strong market in the tree industry and increased demand from customers led to the company s latest expansion behind its buildings along Old Lincoln Way.
The Wayne County commissioners and the Wooster Area Chamber of Commerce helped Mike Stuckey and Ron Messner, the project manager for Bogner Construction, break ground on new building Monday afternoon. We see strong growth potential. We re really looking forward to investing in the Wooster community. This has been our home for a long time and we want to continue to grow here, said Stuckey, the company s general manager. It s a great way to celebrate 75 years and we hope for 75 more.
