August 17, 2007 – Vol.12 No.21 DMI Industries Begins Hiring for Tulsa Wind Tower Plant. West Fargo, North Dakota -based wind tower manufacturer is opening a plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma and needs at least 200 employees to get started. The company will be holding a job fair on Tuesday, August 21 to begin filling positions. Tulsa employees, to include welders, painters and steel plate rollers, as well as general management, supervisory, human resources and administrative personnel, will be trained on site and in the company’s West Fargo and Fort Erie facilities. . DMI expects to eventually employ up to 450 people for the newly acquired plant. The economic impact of approximately 450 jobs with DMI will support an additional 540 indirect jobs in the metro region and generate a total economic impact of $157 million in goods and services. “We’re extremely pleased to be in Tulsa, a community with a reputation for good, hardworking and dedicated people,” said DMI President Lars M¯ller. “We need a strong team to build state-of-the-art wind towers, to begin having a positive impact on the local and regional economies, and to continue improving service and lowering costs for our customers.” DMI began modernizing its Tulsa facility immediately after acquisition, and it is expected to be operational in early 2008. DMI’s annual combined tower production will support more than 3,000 MW of installed wind project capacity, based on today’s tower and turbine technologies and designs. DMI, an operating company of Otter Tail Corporation, also makes equipment for a wide variety of industries, including agricultural processing; ethanol production; oil and gas extraction, processing and refining; and water and waste water processing.(8/16/07)
