“We love the Martinsville workforce. They are hard workers who are committed to our goal of producing great products while emphasizing people safety and excellent customer service,” said Karl Schledwitz, chairman and CEO. “This will be our fourth expansion at the Martinsville facility since we acquired the plant in 2009. We are pleased that Monogram is positioned to create quality jobs in the state of Virginia.”
