Feb. 15, 2013 Source: Calcium Products sent via AgPR--the news distribution service for agriculture Betting on the future of rural Iowa, Calcium Products, Inc. has purchased a vacant 1960's school building located in tiny Gilmore City (pop. 504) and is in the process of transforming it into their corporate offices. "We've needed more space for a very long time", says Craig Dick, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the firm which manufacturers North America's most effective soil amendments. "The Calcium Products' offices were co-located at one of our manufacturing plants. You cannot imagine how dusty our old offices were. This arrangement will allow us to keep a presence in Gilmore City and give a boost to the local economy." Craig Dick said Calcium Products is seeking to add a number of people to their growing support team including customer service representatives, accounting and administrative roles, and employees for other various positions. "We've been asked if we thought being in such a rural area would hinder our hiring. While it can be a bit more difficult to find people, when you do find someone in rural areas, their quality as an employee is unrivaled. When people are offered a good job with a very stable company and can stay in the community or return to the community they grew up in, it's a winning combination for everyone. " The employees of Calcium Products, Inc. aren't the only people excited about this move. Dick "Putter" Jergens is the mayor of Gilmore City and was helpful in securing the abandoned building. "I'd say it was sitting empty for at least fifteen years," said Jergens. "The local Catholic Church once had used it for their school and social functions. But, as time went on and the congregation aged, the building was used less and less." When asked about the cities relationship with Calcium Products, Inc., Jergens was quick to respond, "We are so proud of Calcium Products and their founder Larry Moore. He and his family have done so much for Gilmore City and this is just another example. This is good for Gilmore City because it's a major boost. Heck, if they add five new jobs that's 10% of our population and that's a good thing." About Calcium Products Calcium Products, Inc.
