Dave Zaccaria Text

Hi, I’m Dave Zaccaria with Tram Electric, in Price Utah. I was just here to kind of enforce some of the reasons, background, past and future why Tram Electric is located in Price, Utah and what some of the advantages may have been in these choices.

Obviously, the major number one is the location; proximity for family rearing and business development. Carbon, Emery County and Severe has a very strong ethnic work force, very much inclined to professional development. In conjunction with the type of environment here, mining environment, energy environment, we feel the work force is very strong and adequate in supporting the growth of our industries.

Also, in relationship to that is the educational presence of C.E.U. and other Tech [schools] around. And their willingness to grow and concentrate on our industries and position these future employees for a stronger trade knowledge and obviously better support of our industries. We also have a uniqueness that most of industries are in what I would call the upper professional level of mining and commercial power generation, as well as, the manufacturing of cement and things of this nature. We have a lot of support from ductile pipe manufacturers as well as plastic manufacturers so we’re in a very opportunistic position of supporting major manufacturers.

In dealing with that, a couple of things we take into consideration, one being the financial rewards. We’re able to contribute to their successes, their alliances and be benefited by monies that we receive for those contributions. We also have a captive market, per se, in relationship to the security of our finances for our investment. As well as on that front, it gives us internally in business an opportunity to explore technology advances and equipment support. In relationship to major manufacturers the tendencies and the need for more sophisticated advancements is supported through major manufacturers. And most of the customers around here we deal with are very much inclined to support the purchasing and use of these type of equipment.

So we really have the advantage in that we have a business that is appreciated by our customers, supported by our customers and helps us maintain the health, wealth and well being or our employees; which is obviously an asset to our customers.
