Thank you to Brandon at Alloy Specialties, Inc. for sharing their story and giving us a tour of their Streator factory. Starting small, Jim Coonan began the manufacturer out of his garage, continually growing his business to now two factories, one in Blackstone and one in Streator. We learned the value of safety, organization and got a peek at the training program at Alloy. We also heard about the number of different jobs that go into the business, from the welders to engineers and salespeople.
