Jostens and Federated Owatonna's biggest employers. I thought Viracon was? Dave Strand, Owatonna Development Director said that even though we are in a recession some businesses in Owatonna are growing and expanding. Dan sayner with SPX Corporation (10 years of woking with SPX) was asked since there is cutbacks on manufatucring will SPX close in Owatonna close in the future? He said "There are never any guarantees given how rapidly our market can change, but our Owatonna operations are SPX’s only remaining manufacturing sites for automotive-related products in North America. This is too large of a market to abandon or underserve our customers. As long as we remain flexible and competitive, we have an investment here in Owatonna that makes good business sense"........Wow! I did not realize Owatonna was doing well with ther busniesses. All my information was provided by http://www.owatonnadevelopment.com/business/documents/44020_GrowingOwatonna_prf.pdf
