24 years ago Gary Westermeyer had a vision that he could do things better than his competitors while putting his customers at the forefront in all he did. That vision was started in a garage, moved to a farm shed, and then transformed into one of largest pressure vessel manufacturing companies in the US and the World. Today, as Westermeyer Industries in Bluffs continues to rebuild and grow, the same vision that Gary Westermeyer had in the beginning is still at the forefront of all they do. “Customer Drive , Results Oriented”

Gary took some time to talk with our Pike County CEO students about how it started, what they do, and how he continues to put his customers first in his thoughts. Thank you Gary for your continued support of our Pike County CEO program and for your insight. Pike CEO Westermeyer Industries Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship Illinois Electric Cooperative
