Steve West, Plant Manager, American Railcar Industries

We owe ARI’s success here in large part to this community. Good people. Good “small town” work ethics. Good cooperation and assistance from the community. And it’s a good place to raise a family. I’m proud to have moved my family to Washington County and made this my home.
