PUEBLO, Colo.—Earlier today, House Republicans took a tour of Goodrich’s Carbon Operations in Pueblo as one of the final stops on their statewide “Building a Better Colorado Tour.”
Goodrich manufactures braking systems using steel and carbon friction material for use on commercial, business and military aircraft. Their facility in Pueblo is one of their three carbon production facilities in the nation and one of two manufacturing sites in the state which supports hundreds of local jobs.
“Colorado’s manufacturers represent a multibillion dollar industry that employs thousands in the state,” said state Rep. Keith Swerdfeger, R-Pueblo.
“House Republicans will continue to work on behalf of businesses like Goodrich, whose employees help make our nation’s air transit system safer and more efficient every day.”
Manufacturers in Colorado generate approximately $18 billion annually in output and employ over 125,000 Coloradans across the state.
“In this economy, we look to our government leaders to support business growth. We’re thankful for leaders like Speaker McNulty and Keith Swerdfeger who understand this,” said Mike Grondalski, Vice President of Operations for Goodrich.
After finishing their tour of the Goodrich facility, House Republicans took to the road again to meet with leaders in both business and education CSU-Pueblo.
