Indianapolis, Ind., June 11, 2008 — Estes Design and Manufacturing, a leader in full-service precision sheet metal fabrication, announced the addition of Brock Grain Systems to its growing customer list. Brock, a manufacturer of commercial tower grain dryers, is currently expanding its operations to meet the dramatic increase in the demand for ethanol in the biofuel industry.
"Brock is a complement to our diverse customer base, and we are pleased to have been selected as a vendor," says Larry McNew, sales manager. "We have made a conscious decision to embrace the renewable energy movement, and the parts we're manufacturing for Brock are the first fruits of this initiative."
Ethanol—an alternative renewable fuel source—is being produced at all time highs in the U.S., with over 139 biorefineries in operation as of January 2008. With a benefit of reducing greenhouse emissions, ethanol is also helping the U.S. break free of its reliance on oil imports.
