ALBION — To whom much is given, much is expected.
These are the words Bill Dobbins has chosen to live by as president of the Albion-based manufacturing company, Caster Concepts.
Founded in the mid-1980s by his father Richard, the company manufactures industrial, heavy-duty casters and wheels for a variety of applications. What began with just three employees in a 6,000-square-foot workspace downtown has now blossomed to include 120 employees and multiple machining shops, headlined by a 70,000-square-foot facility northeast of downtown in Parma Township.
The company’s substantial growth has also meant growth for Albion, with Dobbins placing an emphasis on investing in the health and well-being of employees, education and technology programs for kids and community redevelopment to stimulate the local economy through the company’s philanthropic arm, Caster Cares.
