USA said . “ We ’ re currently finishing up on a component final finish addition [ and ] looking at a total expansion on the paint building for the F-35 . We built the first building for Lockheed in 2007 . They ’ ve got [ more ] funding now and they ’ re doubling the capacity of that building .”
Plans for Expansion Despite the bevy of high profile clients that Bosworth has been doing business with , Kepple remains optimistic about the company ’ s ability to expand to an even greater market .
“ I think we ’ ve got room to expand . It ’ s kind of an evolving market ,” he said . “ We ’ ve had about three years of drought in the industry with the economic system taking the dive that it took , but that seems to be turning around nicely now . We ’ re able to actually look at projects that have a little bit more potential for profit margin in them . And of course the potential for profit margin drives our desire to go to the national market .”
Bosworth has recently been operating in states that , in the past , they have had little , if any role in . “ We ’ re also doing the expansion or redevelopment of the Browns Stadium in Cleveland ,” Kepple added . “ Last year we completed the new Cleveland Convention Center . And those were specifically clientdriven jobs there . We don ’ t normally go to Ohio .”

In addition to extensive safety training that Kepple said goes “ above and beyond ” industry standards , the company also offers a course for employees who want a career rather than a job in steel erecting .
“[ We ] do that through a program in the company called Next Level Training where we ’ ll take some of the brighter , more enthusiastic , interested , younger guys--and the key word there is interested-- and we ’ ll actually try to have them absorb some of that decades of trial and error so that what might have taken
