Greenlee, a Textron Inc. company, entered into a partnership recently with Highland Community College in Freeport, Illinois, with a donation of numerous hand tools, test and measurement equipment, storage boxes and work benches worth over $30,000 for the college's brand new Wind Turbine Technology Center.
"This partnership will provide Greenlee with the opportunity to work with, supply to, and foster the growing alternative energy industry in the United States, said Ajay Chandrasekhar, a member of the Greenlee Strategy team. This venture will directly contribute to developing a greener and stronger energy industry in northern Illinois."
