On Friday we had our last facility tours of the 2026 Elevate Iowa Manufacturing Tour at Cargill in Fort Dodge and Baker Group in Altoona! 🚐

We started the morning with a tour at Cargill. This location specializes in corn processing, from dextrose and corn syrup to ethanol and cattle feed. 🌽

At Baker Group, we toured their Offsite Manufacturing campus and learned more about the opportunities of offsite manufacturing and how Baker Group is bringing innovation to the jobsite. ⚙️

Thank you to Cargill and Baker Group for being a part of our tour!

On Wednesday we had 4 great stops on our Elevate Iowa Manufacturing RV Tour:
🛠️ Stellar Industries, Garner – We started the morning with breakfast and a walk through Stellar’s manufacturing facility. Here, stacks of metal sheets transform into the specialty trucks and equipment they're know for.
🌲 Pammel Park, Forest City – We stopped for a short program with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the Iowa Economic Development Authority Office of Outdoor Recreation in recognition of Iowa's recreation economy and the role outdoor spaces play in our communities.
🚐 Winnebago, Forest City – We got a behind-the-scenes look at how Winnebago builds its RVs. In just a five-minute walk down the line, you can watch a bare chassis turn into a fully loaded RV.
🍺 Lake Time Brewery, Clear Lake – We wrapped up our day with the Iowa Brewers Guild, learning more about b**r manufacturing and Lake Time Brewery’s award-winning Peanut Butter Porter.
Thank you to Stellar Industries, Winnebago Industries, and Lake Time Brewery for the great tours!

Another great day on the Elevate Iowa Manufacturing Tour! 🚐

We started the morning with a tour of Metalcraft in Mason City. Metalcraft is an ESOP specializing in tracking solutions, from tags to RFID to software. 🏷️

Next, we headed to Kraft Heinz. Fun fact: every ready to eat JELL-O product is made right here in Mason City, Iowa! And yes, our visit ended with a taste test. 😋

Thank you to Metalcraft Inc. and Kraft Heinz for the great tours today!

Yesterday we had a great time touring Zip's AW Direct in New Hampton! What started as an auto body shop in the 1950s has grown into one of the country’s leading names in tow trucks and accessories — they have even expanded into other heavy machinery and embroidery. The Rottinghaus family has owned and led Zip’s for 40 years and their commitment to their employees and community shows in everything they do. Thank you to EVP David Rottinghaus and General Manager John Kuhn for the tour! 🛻🛠️
