My father retires from there next April, he’s been with the company for 21 years now, guess that things have changed a lot from when he started and the union is worried what the merger means for the plant. ---

Left NOCO in February and joined Westmatic Corp as an Eastern Region Territory/Key Account Manager - I cover East Coast of US, everything east of Louisiana, as well as Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Barbados, etc. Westmatic is a Swedish based company that manufactures large vehicle (bus, truck, train) wash systems for the world, but make everything for North America right here in Buffalo. https://player.vimeo.com/video/118850263?app_id=122963 ---

They don’t joke around. We’ve got some notable accounts like Walt Disney World, Bombardier, Anheuser Busch, NYC Transit Authority, etc. I work with the architects and engineers these customers hire and you would be surprised how in depth people get about washing trucks and buses. ---
