The Braun Corporation’s recent announcement that it is adding jobs and products to it’s Winamac production facility is welcome news on many levels. President Nick Gutwein says it underscores the commitment by the leadership team and board of directors to remain in Winamac despite the passing earlier this year of company founder Ralph Braun.
“You can tell that to people, and yet still the fear with the loss of such an icon and a pioneer in the community and the industry – until we do things people won’t see it. This is not anything but what we had planned to do if Ralph was still here, so it just happens to be that the timing is good, and it will be tangible evidence to people that we’re committed to this area,” said Gutwein.
