Pueblo native named U.S. Navy occupational therapist of the year and more business news
Pueblo's Industrial Constructors/Managers, Inc., just increased its steel fabrication capacity by up to 75% thanks to a new beamline machine that will help the licensed general contractor create fast, consistent and accurate products. The new beamline machine, manufactured by BeamCut, automates the cutting, drilling, coping, notching, and etching process used to produce steel for industrial and commercial purposes, according to a press release from Industrial Constructors/Managers. 'The beamline is a huge benefit for us because it automates a lot of our procedures and reduces the man hours required to fabricate steel,' said Dustin Mincic, vice president of operations. 'Now we can produce steel a lot quicker, whether we're working with 2 inches of steel, 16 inches of pipe, or a 60-foot long beam.' The company designs and builds equipment for a wide range of industries ranging from aerospace and airports to mining and power generation companies. A video of the beamline in action can be seen at The Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce is set to host its Business Awards Luncheon from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., Thursday, April 10, at the Colorado State University Pueblo Occhiato Student Center Ballroom, 2200 Bonforte Blvd. The Business of the Year Award will be presented to H.W.

The Business Leader Award will be presented to Darrin Smith, president of UCHealth Parkview. Smith started out in Pueblo as employee relations manager at Trane Company where he worked for 14 years. He left Pueblo for a short time to open up a new Trane location in Florida. When he returned to Pueblo, Smith became the vice president of human resources at Parkview Medical Center in 2005.
