The first portion of the Power 250, Business First’s annual list of “powerful people,” contains a large helping of manufacturing owners, operators and supporters, as you’d expect for an industry that provides 65,000 jobs and billions in GDP for WNY. John Somers of Harmac, Sealing Devices’ Terry Galanis, Jr., Peter Coleman of the Buffalo Niagara Manufacturing Alliance, Joe Sahlen of Sahlen Packing, Northland Workforce Training Center’s Stephen Tucker, Scott Weinstein of Safetec, Cutco’s Jim Stitt, Jr. and Ken Johnson of GM are just a few of the Power 250 linked to manufacturing. Congratulations to all those who are recognized as well as all the unsung heroes that make manufacturing a foundational pillar of WNY’s economy!
