15 Aug 2006   Rockledge grand opening celebration and open house event

Florida State Senator Bill Posey joined LRM Industries in their grand opening celebration and open house event.

Local business leaders and state and local government representatives gathered to celebrate the opening of LRM Industries’ new Rockledge facility. Current projects were shared and discussed, and attendees were offered a glimpse of future products and designs.


The positive impact of LRM Industries on the local community was highlighted by several attendees. Particular attention was given to local economic growth and the number of job opportunities being generated by the new facility.

In addition to Senator Posey, attending the event were Representative Thad Altman and Mayor Larry Schultz, along with representatives from the offices of Senators Mike Haridopolos, Bill Nelson, and Mel Martinez. Dozens of other officials, candidates, business leaders, and family and friends also joined the celebration and tours.

Following his presentation, Senator Posey was offered the chance to operate one of the facility’s new state-of-the-art compression molding presses. He quickly accepted.

Senator Posey is provided a plastic cup to demonstrate the crushing power of the press.

Thanks go out to all who attended!
