Today we were at Stertil ALM Corp. and visited with Mr. Allan Pavlick, President. Stertil-Koni products are an industry leader in heavy duty vehicle lifts. Allan presented the history of ALM in Streator, its acquisition by the Dutch Stertil Group in 2008, and major expansions and growth since. Their contract manufacturing site in Streator builds and ships 3 separate lifting systems all around the world. Allan shared this process and also discussed sales and distribution sites within this global company. We also had a lesson on international business, exchange rates, audits, outsourcing, and more. It was very interesting to see the flow of raw materials to finished goods in their Streator facility. Thank you Allan and Stertil-ALM for having us in!
