  • Member News: Secretary of the Interior Visits Lincoln Electric!

    On February 14th Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar visited Lincoln Electric’s facility in Ohio, touring the Automation Division, where they produce arc welding solutions that support the wind industry and other energy sectors across the nation. “With a wind turbine on site that provides up to ten percent of the plant’s energy needs, Lincoln Electric is really walking the talk and showing that we can meet our energy needs with a variety of sources – both conventional and renewable,” Salazar said. Lincoln Electric employs over 2,200 workers at their Northeast Ohio operations, which is home to the largest urban-based wind turbine in the nation. Congratulations to Lincoln Electric for the recognition of their company! More information on Secretary Salazar’s visit can be found on the Department of Interior website.
