We produce robotic <br /> workcells and feeders for the electronic assembly industry world wide. The company is eight . <br /> years old and continues to grow at a rapid rate. We have had to relocate three times during the <br /> eight years-we've been in business in this community to keep up with the growth patterns which <br /> we have experienced. It is our desire and need to find a building that suits our usage long into <br /> the future for maintaining our position in the technology industry and allowing for growth and <br /> expansion. <br /> The company has a manufacturing facility in Rugby, North Dakota, where the fabrication and <br /> assembly of the products takes place. The St. Anthony location would be for administrative, <br /> research and development, marketing, sales and integration of customer orders. Robodyne <br /> Corporation currently employs 54 people, 33 of whom work in St. Anthony and include <br /> electrical engineers and highly skilled electrical and computer personnel. The salary for our <br /> professional people ranges from $30,000 to $70,000 annually and $14.00 to $26.00 per hour for <br /> our skilled employees working in St. Anthony. If we are unable to relocate in this St. Anthony <br /> site, we will have to relocate and expand our business to another community where more room is <br /> available for future growth of our operation. <br /> Our company products are environmentally sound and do not produce hazardous waste by- <br /> products. We a "clean" user. Since our location in St. Anthony is predominately an <br /> administrative research and development site, we have very little traffic delivery, and the <br /> deliveries we do take are during standard business hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday <br /> through Friday. <br /> 2818 Anthony Lane South • Minneapolis, Minnesota 55418-3234 •Phone 612-789-5277 •Fax 612-789-6773 <br />
