Recently, Eric Livengood of Ulrich Planfiling Equipment Corporation spoke to the Rotary Club of Jamestown.

Ulrich Planfiling will celebrate 100 years manufacturing in Lakewood in 2015. It is a metal furniture and sheet metal fabricating company in Lakewood.

Whereas the company still manufactures the planfile that was invented by Charles Ulrich in 1915, it remains strong through new products, flexibility and investing in the best manufacturing equipment. Also key to a bright future are the 40 people working at Ulrich Planfile who believe in quality, customer service, and quick turnaround for make-to-order products.

An attentive audience listened to this presentation about a local company that has remained strong while developing the capacity that put it on firm footing for the future.

Rotary is a service organization whose purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Recent projects include assisting with the Red Kettle campaign, literacy programs, mock interviews at Jamestown High School and roadside cleanup.

The noon Rotary meets at noon Mondays at the Robert H. Jackson Center. Visitors are welcomed.
