A local manufacturer has made a big splash in the local economy, and this week, they took the time to say thank you.
Axis Pipe and Tube, located in north Bryan, held a community appreciation tour and lunch at their facility on Wednesday.
Several city and county officials were in attendance, including County Judge Duane Peters and Bryan Mayor Jason Bienski.
“We have worked hard as a partnership with Axis Pipe and Tube knowing how tough it is in the world of economic development. This company had multiple, strong choices to locate their United States manufacturing center of excellence in the southern United States and they picked Bryan, Brazos County, Texas,” said Bienski.
General Manager Paco Garza worked closely with the City of Bryan and Mayor Jason Bienski over the last two years.
“Thank you to Brazos County, the City of Bryan and the Research Valley Partnership for your assistance with this project,” said Garza.
Comments were also made by Jose and Jorge Garza of parent-company, Prolamsa and Brazos County Judge Duane Peters.
