Tyler Pipe General Manager speaks on economic development panel

Tyler Pipe General Manager Joe Holzbauer recently joined other manufacturing professionals on a panel hosted by the Tyler Economic Development Council. The event gathered entrepreneurs, business professionals and city officials to discuss partnerships and operations in Tyler and Smith County, Texas.

Holzbauer spoke to the importance of community relations to raise awareness of trade skill career opportunities.

“For us, it’s people and really community support,” said Holzbauer. “We truly try to open our doors to the community and let people know what we do and how much we care about people. Our company really generates well-paying jobs, even for people who aren’t attending college, but through trade school or through an apprenticeship program we have at Tyler Pipe, you can get that high-paying job that takes a lot of people through college or purchasing homes.”
