Eye shared with us weekend. On Sunday she moved to her new Host Family - the Conklins.
Program - Tom Jensen introduced Jim King, Jr. President of IFH Group. Jim gave an interesting presentation about the history of his business started by his grandfather and father and the evolution to where the company is today. The employee population in their company has grown to about 200 people between their company in Rock Falls and their recent acquisition in the state of Washington. Some of the product they make: cylinders used on the space shuttles, Hydraulic and fuel tanks, boxes used inside the Red Box Machines and Coinstar coin machines. They do custom work for several big name companies. It was good to hear about the growth and success of a company founded in Rock Falls. Thanks Jim.
