Members of the Springfield Rotary Club meet weekly at F&M Bank for a lunch meeting with special presentations by local businesses and organizations. On October 19th they were invited to visit the Springfield Electrolux campus and treated to a presentation and delicious lunch prepared by their cafeteria personnel followed by a tour of the new plant facility called “Pegasus”. It was an incredible opportunity to see huge robots operating in the manufacturing process of ovens. The original plant (still in operation) has been operating in Springfield for 50 years! The new plant has over 300 skylights to provide natural lighting throughout the facility contributing to a reduction of electricity usage and improved employee work environment.

“ Our tour of the new Electrolux building provided an amazing behind the scenes view of the modern manufacturing facility. I was amazed at the robotic technology. The floor was clean; the employees all looked very happy; and the overall workplace environment was very impressive. This state-of- the-art facility eliminates any outdated perception of manufacturing plants being dark and dirty! I am grateful for the opportunity to have been invited to tour it.” Albert Cartner, VP/Commercial Loan Officer F&M Bank, Tom Austin Hwy. Springfield, TN
