The public has the opportunity to tour the Chantland South Plant on Saturday, May 18, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and enjoy a hot dog.
“How many people have driven by thousands of times and have no idea what we do,” Chantland President Jerry Heathman said. “While on our way home on a Sunday night recently, my wife and I stopped at the plant. In 37 years I’ve been with the company she’d never been to the plant. How many other spouses of employees and their children had never been in the plant? We decided to open it up to the public to show what we do.”
Inside the 180,000 square foot facility, the 130 employees manufacture pulleys and rollers for conveyor systems.
“If you fly your bag has been moved on a Chantland pulley. Amazon and Target all move product on Chantland pulleys. Our products are used around the world,” Heathman said.
He said the company is need of welders, machinists and CNC operators. Read more about The Chantland Company in this week's Humboldt Independent. Subscribe by clicking on the link at the top of the page.
