Caster Concepts’ ‘conscious capitalism’ philosophy pays dividends for hometown

Manufacturer Caster Concepts Inc. has adopted a relatively non-traditional approach to engaging with the local community.

The unconventional approach started 17 years ago when Albion-based Caster Concepts, which manufactures industrial strength casters for a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace and manufacturing, “had a crazy idea” to launch a summer concert series, said Caroline Hurteau, the company’s community liaison.
