Heavy-duty vehicle lift provider Stertil-Koni, a brand of the Stertil Group, has announced that Stertil ALM, its U.S. production facility located in Streator, Illinois, has been honored with the Manufacturing/Industry award from the Streator Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The award, which represents the second time Stertil ALM has received this accolade, was presented at a gala dinner recently, hosted by the Chamber and attended by Jimmy Lansford, the mayor of Streator. The company previously won the Manufacturing/Industry award from the Chamber in 2012.
“Stertil ALM is an outstanding business in our community and we are very pleased to recognize their contributions,” said Jack Dzuris, the executive director of the Streator Area Chamber of Commerce.
Dzuris commended the company for providing years of steady employment. Stertil ALM is the area’s third largest employer. The company also regularly brings in visitors from North America and Europe to get hands-on with its equipment and receive training on the broad range of heavy-duty vehicle lifts produced in Streator.
Over the past few years, Stertil ALM also has undergone a major expansion, purchasing 4.8 acres of land and adding 36,000 square feet of workspace. In addition, around 20 jobs have been added.
Allan Pavlick, vice president of Stertil ALM, said, “This is a great community to work in. We are proud to be recognized for excellence by our host community.”
Dr. Jean DellAmore, president of Stertil-Koni USA Inc., added, “Stertil ALM produces the highest-quality products in the heavy-duty lifting industry, all while providing outstanding business and employment opportunities in the region.
