Cleveland County and the City of Shelby jointly collaborated to provide Huesker Inc. with financial incentives that would be applicable to them as a result of the proposed expansion project thereby, ensuring the creation of a system through which entrepreneurs, local businesses, and government officials can increase their investment in the community.
Kristin Fletcher, executive director of the CCEDP, said, “The CCEDP works to actively recruit new industry and create in Cleveland County a healthy and diverse environment for existing, expanding, and new businesses. It is our pleasure to announce the expansion of Huesker Inc., which is currently located in Shelby, North Carolina. Huesker Inc. is an excellent partner to CCEDP and truly understands the impact of their expansion to our mission to promote the county as a single economic entity.”
Sven Schroer, CEO of Huesker said, “Making a strong, lasting connection includes much more than manufacturing a diverse range of highly engineered products that connect to the world’s application needs. We believe a strong, lasting connection also applies to our employees, our trade partners, our customers, and our community at large. We are pleased to be expanding our operations in Cleveland County.” (GK)
