Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds was in Manchester on Wednesday to visit Henderson Products.
Henderson’s is a custom manufacturer of work truck equipment that employs about 325 people across the state.
The governor and Lt. Governor Adam Gregg toured the manufacturing facility on South Third Street and addressed local leaders and Henderson’s employees, taking a few moments to answer questions from a couple of the workers as well.
Governor Reynolds told KMCH she was very impressed with Henderson’s operations – most notably their partnership with the West Delaware welding program. (Audio Link can be heard by clicking through to the KMCH site listed below)
