Deimco Finishing Equipment has expanded its facility and added staff for its growing business. In addition, the Tama, Iowa-based Deimco, hosted a tour for U.S. Senator Joni Ernst.
Tom Arneson, Vice President and General Manager of Deimco, says they have hired John Boland and Josh Edel to positions created to support the continued growth of Deimco Finishing Equipment.
“We are excited to welcome both John and Josh into the Deimco family,” Arneson says. They will be a great addition to our team and resource for our customers for years to come.”
Boland obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering from the University of Northwestern in St. Paul in May of 2021. John previously worked for Deimco as an intern over multiple summers. As Controls Technician, John will be responsible for operating and troubleshooting numerous robotic, electrical, and pneumatic control systems.
Edel joins Deimco after graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and Business Administration in May 2020. Josh has previously possessed roles in inventory and maintenance for Schimberg Company, Whole Excavation and Ricken Tiling. As a Technician, Josh will work collaboratively to fabricate and implement mechanical, electrical and pneumatic assemblies, in addition to accounting duties.
“We’re excited to add John and Josh to our team,” says Kirk Shirar, President and Co-Owner. “We continue to invest in people, products and facilities as we execute our strategy to be the first choice finishing and material handling solutions provider.”
Deimco also hosted U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) during her annual 99-County tour of Iowa. A 10,800 square foot expansion was opened in early 2021 and was fully operational for Ernst to observe. The tour featured a demonstration of a fully pre-assembled automated material handling system for a customer. The system places building materials on pallets with robotic pick and placement, an overhead gantry, wrapping and custom conveyance, all in one automated system.
“We are forever appreciative to the City of Tama, Tama County Economic Development, and the community for welcoming us and for making Tama a wonderful place to do business,” says Cindy Shirar, CFO and Co-Owner of Deimco.
