WOOSTER If city leaders and residents were asked who in the area executes leadership and volunteerism really well, Ben Maibach would surely make the list.
The Wooster Brush Company president, a Wooster native who is now raising his own family in the city he loves, has a hand in several local organizations meant to strengthen the community.
In 2017, he graduated from Leadership Wooster, a year-long program that teaches about the area and educational and networking opportunities locally.
It s his genuine commitment in bettering Wooster Brush and the city that has led the Wooster Area Chamber of Commerce to recognize Maibach with its annual Leadership Wooster Distinguished Alumni Award at its dinner and banquet Thursday, May 20.
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.
