Glencoe Law Office Celebrates Grand Opening
October 31, 2011
Glencoe Law Office
(320) 864-4800
821 11th Street East; Glencoe, MN 55336
Congratulations to Scott Nokes and Mike Redden for the grand opening of Glencoe Law Office on Friday, October 28th in the former Oriel Theatre building in downtown Glencoe.
When asked why they choose Glencoe, Nokes stated that the physical location, directly across from the McLeod County Courthouse, is a prime location. Being “county seat” attorneys is a significant advantage, because it is quite easy to make appearances in court or file paperwork without dealing with the inconvenient windshield time of being located in another community.
Glencoe Law Office is a general practice law firm, and handles most matters with the exceptions of Social Security disability, workers compensation, and medical malpractice (although they have referrals for those). Their normal hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday. They also make appointments in the evenings and on weekends by appointment.
The former Oriel Theatre has been completely renovated. Some of the renovations include: a new roof, foundation repairs, new plumbing and electrical service, new windows, new mechanical systems, painting, concrete, and brick seal-coating.

Delta Fabricating Named Glencoe’s Manufacturing Firm of the Year
GLENCOE, MN – October 28, 2011 – As part of Minnesota’s Manufacturing Week October 24-28, the Glencoe Area Chamber of Commerce hosted their annual manufacturing breakfast at Delta Fabricating on Thursday, October 27. This event was an opportunity to recognize Delta Fabricating for their contributions to the community, while raising awareness on the impact that manufacturing has on the local economy.
Chamber of Commerce President, Dan Ehrke, started the event off by announcing that “manufacturing is growing in Glencoe”. He sited several recent examples of local firms, including Delta Fabricating, Starkey Laboratories, and Miller Manufacturing, expanding during the past 15 months adding key investments and jobs to the community. Mr. Ehrke also mentioned that this growth includes two new companies, Midwest Porcine Recovery and Miromatrix Medical, relocating to Glencoe’s Industrial Park.
As part of the ceremonies, Mr. Ehrke presented a plaque to Mike Schiller, Delta Fabricating’s Vice-President, announcing the company as Glencoe’s Manufacturing Firm of the Year. Glencoe’s Mayor, Randy Wilson, also presented a proclamation proclaiming October 27, 2011 as Delta Fabricating Day in the City of Glencoe, recognizing the company for its twenty-five years of business.
Paul Moe, Deputy Commissioner with the Department of Employment and Economic Development for the State of Minnesota, also marked the occasion by speaking to the significant impact that Delta Fabricating and other local manufacturing companies have on the State’s economy. Mr. Moe concluded his remarks by presenting Delta Fabricating a certificate of commendation from Governor Mark Dayton for their accomplishments.
Owned by the Lakeland Companies, Delta Fabricating has been operating in Glencoe since 1986 with a current workforce of twenty-nine employees. Mr. Schiller stated that employee turnover is extremely low with over 60% of their employees being employed ten or more years. The company’s facility includes approximately 44,000 square feet of manufacturing space and 12,250 square feet of warehouse space. The company manufactures industrial electrical enclosures for packaging, food processing, and industrial machines.
In 2011, Delta Fabricating completed equipment and facility improvements in excess of $700,000.00, which was highlighted in the tour that concluded the event. The Board of Directors for the Glencoe Area Chamber of Commerce would like to congratulate Delta Fabricating for being recognized as Glencoe’s 2011 Manufacturing Firm of the Year.

Following his election to the Miromatrix Board of Directors on October 17th, Governor Pawlenty said, “I am extremely excited to join the board of a company that has the potential to improve human health in an historic way within its reach.
