STOBER culture topic of presentation for business leaders

Peter Feil, VP/General Manager, and Stephanie Gastauer, Talent Development Leader, recently presented information about the culture of STOBER Drives, Inc. to regional business leaders who gathered at Aileron in Tripp City, Ohio.

Specifically, the presentation featured STOBER’s focus on people development programs and the importance of prioritizing people development in business.  At STOBER, people development is the most important aspect of our business, and our development programs are a major determining factor of our current and future success.
