Touring Itron, Inc. in Oconee County
Posted by Susan Aiken 10/20/2008 - 09:44:54 AM
Itron, Inc. Tour 1


I recently had the opportunity to tour Itron, Inc. with State Senator Thomas Alexander. Itron is a global company with headquarters located in Liberty Lake, Washington. The Oconee County plant sits in the small town of West Union and provides many good-quality jobs for people not only in the Golden Corner but in the neighboring counties. Itron is the world’s leading provider of solid-state meters for electric, gas, heat and water systems, and they currently have 8000 customers in 130 countries around the world. In their Oconee County facility, Itron designs and manufactures products for the market.

Along on the tour was LeRoy Nosbaum, CEO and Chairman of the Board, Lowell Rust, Director of Product Marketing, Michael Higgins, General Manager of Operations and Daniel Pfeiffer, VP of Regulatory Affairs. Senator Alexander and I were given an extensive tour and met many of the employees that make this such an efficient and productive plant. This is a high tech operation and is on the cutting edge for new technology that will save energy.

It will be very interesting to watch how this impressive company will continue to make an impact on the local economy.
