Great to be part of the ribbon cutting celebration welcoming Barco Products to Geneva!

Thanks to the Geneva, IL - Chamber of Commerce & Tourism for bringing everyone together to celebrate Barco Products' move to their new Geneva offices.

I had the opportunity to tour their impressive product showroom and learn more about what they do. From a bear-proof trash bin to their specialized and custom printing capabilities, it was interesting to see the variety of products and creative solutions they offer.

Just as enjoyable was meeting some great people, making new connections, and spending time with others who support our local business community.

Congratulations to the Barco Products team, and welcome to Geneva! It's always great to see businesses making Geneva their home.
