When businesses choose to work locally, those dollars and relationships continue to strengthen our entire county.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new Dieterich facility will serve as ENTEC\u2019s hub for its expanding mobile specialty trailer and vehicle services and storage. Designed to support continued growth in this area of the business, the facility will provide high-capacity storage and advanced in-shop servicing, allowing ENTEC to provide specialty solutions both from its Dieterich location and directly at customer sites. Construction is underway, with the project currently targeting an October 1 completion date.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives from the Village of Dieterich, Effingham County Chamber, and the local business community gathered with the ENTEC Services team to mark the groundbreaking.
