Straehle + Hess USA, Inc. to Expand to Auburn Technology Park North

devLee — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 00:19:50 +0000

Auburn, Ala. – Straehle + Hess USA, Inc. has announced plans to expand its Auburn operations, currently housed in the Auburn Center for Developing Industries on Pumphrey Avenue, to an existing facility in Auburn Technology Park North. City of Auburn and company officials made the move official at a signing ceremony held at Auburn City Hall this afternoon.

Straehle + Hess specializes in high-end textiles for automobile manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Audi, Mercedes Benz, and Porsche. In 2004, Straehle + Hess located in Auburn as part of the City’s industry incubator program. The program allows companies to ramp up operations in an existing incubator facility before constructing a permanent facility. Over the last 20 years, the City of Auburn has graduated more than 10 companies from its incubator program, many of which have gone on to further expand their operations. Kirsten Schoenharting, Managing Director of the German parent company for Straehle + Hess, commented at the signing, “The City of Auburn has been a tremendous partner in our attempt to build a larger footprint for our company in the North American market. Auburn is an ideal environment for our business. Auburn University’s Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, particularly the Department of Polymer and Fiber Engineering, has been a great resource for us over the last five years.” “I am pleased to see the investment in our incubator program is paying dividends,” said Mayor Bill Ham, Jr. “We congratulate Straehle + Hess on their expansion and look forward to seeing their production and hiring process ramp up.” The company was awarded a large contract for the new M-Class vehicle that will be produced by Mercedes Benz US International in Vance, AL. The expansion is expected to bring 20 new jobs and an additional capital investment of more than $500,000. Company officials expect to begin the hiring process in the fourth quarter of 2009. For more information, please contact the City of Auburn’s Workforce Development Division at (334) 501-7300.

West Pace Auto Mall Now Open

devLee — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 20:40:54 +0000

The West Pace Auto Mall, currently made up of Lynch Nissan, is now open in case you missed it. It’s still unclear what will come of this development though an auto mall doesn’t seem to go with some of the other names that were mentioned at the beginning of the development process. West Pace still seems to be a hot topic in the community. What are your thoughts?

Staffing Connections Press Release

devLee — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 14:16:14 +0000

Staffing Connections Opens Opelika-Auburn Branch; Launches New Website

Columbus, GA – October 6, 2008 – Staffing Connections has announced the opening of a new branch office in the Opelika/Auburn area, and the launch of their newly re-designed website.

The new branch, which officially opened its doors for business on October 6th, is located at 404 South 7^th Street, Suite A in Opelika, Alabama. The branch will cater to the staffing needs of the Opelika, Auburn, Dadeville, Tallassee, Lanett, Tuskegee, Valley and West Point areas. Staffing Connections is headquartered in Columbus, GA and is locally owned and operated.

“The Opelika and surrounding areas is growing rapidly and we want to be a part of the growth in the community,” said Kim Stinson-Taccati, President and Chief Operations Officer. “We’ve recruited an exceptional team to manage the branch with outstanding local talent.”

Wayne Starks, Chief Executive Officer, opened the first staffing company in the Opelika area in 1987. Starks stated, “We believe this new market will help achieve our goals of sustainable growth and were excited to be a partner in the community.”

Managing the Opelika-Auburn branch is Lisa Viteri. With more than 10 years of staffing, sales, and marketing experience, Viteri “has been in that market for numerous years and understands the clients’ needs,” Stinson-Taccati said.

Staffing Connections anticipates continued growth, with a goal to open three additional branches in the next 12 months. Another component of the company’s growth is the launch of their newly re-designed website (www.staffing-connections.com).

The site offers information and contact forms for both potential clients and jobseekers. The site also gives jobseekers the opportunity to submit a “pre-application” in order to be considered for job openings (www.staffing-connections.com/pre-application.php).

“We were impressed at how user friendly and professional the new design is,” said Stinson- Taccati. The re-design was done by Columbus-based web design company Canopy Web Design LLC (www.canopywebdesign.com). Development of the website will continue, with additional functionality added to assist both clients and jobseekers in getting the most out of their Staffing Connections experience.

Staffing Connections’ guiding principle of providing top-notch customer service has enhanced their growth and success. Taccati-Stinson outlined the goals for the company, “It is our goal to be the clients’ first choice for their staffing needs by providing superior service, a complete line of integrated business solutions, and the widest variety of staffing options.”

“It is also our goal,” Stinson-Taccati continued, “to be the first choice of employment for our temporaries and full-time staff, based on respect for the individual, fairness, honesty and integrity.”
