SUCCESS STORIES

Beyond business friendly

#10 Skilled, educated workforce

Kris Kerin

“Workforce quality is a big reason Bley has been in Elk Grove Village for nearly 50 years. We’re able to get the highly skilled people we need to operate our state-of-the-art machinery.”


- Kris Kerin, Bley LLC

#9Major investments in infrastructure

Tom Walter

“The incredible relationship between the government and business community is why my partners and I have stayed in Elk Grove for over 30 years. We have had businesses in other cities and not found this level of support for infrastructure and enterprises.”


- Tom Walter, Tasty Catering tastycatering.com

#8Adjacent to O’Hare International Airport

Joy Vora

“Being right next to O’Hare, we can drop a delivery right at the gate as late as 10:00 p.m. and get it into the hands of engineers the next day. Because of that logistical advantage, our customers see us differently.”


- Jay Vora, Flextron Circuit Assembly flextronassembly.com

#7Array of commercial sites and buildings

Dan Geocari

“Due to the sheer scale of Elk Grove Village, we've been able to buy two production facilities in town and lease a third for offices. We're proud to have two plants, our Culinary Center, and our corporate offices here.”


- Dan Geocari, Little Lady Foods

#4EGVBizHub.com engagement portal

Eric Toriumi

“The Village understands the needs of its businesses, and EGVbizhub.com is a great example — a creative and effective way for us to engage with each other. Elk Grove seems more like an alliance and less like a city.”

#3Largest industrial park in the U.S.

Mike Byrd

“We recently moved to Elk Grove Village. Quite a few of our customers are here, so it makes things easier from a sales and service standpoint. We can get to them quicker and they can get to us quicker. Being right down the street is a big plus.”


- Mike Byrd, Air Services Company airservicesco.com

#2Prime location and transportation access

Margaret Kozlowski
