Webb Wheel Products has chosen Tell City IN as the site of a new manufacturing facility dedicated to high-volume OEM wheel-end product. The facility, when completed in early 2005, will be the headquarters of Webb's newly created Tell City/OEM business unit, being headed by Kent Finkbiner, vice-president and general manager.

Tell City was chosen as the site of this new facility due to proximity to key markets combined with the community's commitment to local businesses. Perry County and the state of Indiana will provide grants for training, energy conservation measures, and other projects related to new business development in the area.
