OMA Hosts Second Annual Energy Conference

The second annual Ohio Manufacturers’ Energy Conference was held Sept. 13 at Westerville’s Quest Conference Center. The event drew more than 220 attendees and covered numerous energy-related topics critical to manufacturers.

The conference featured dozens of presenters, including Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, who spoke about the need for a national energy policy; Cleveland-Cliffs President and CEO Lourenco Goncalves, who discussed his company’s efforts to expand America’s steel manufacturing capacity using clean energy; and Rick Riggle, COO of L-H Battery Co. (LG Energy Solution and Honda), who provided details about the EV battery facility being built by Honda and LG Energy Solution in Fayette County.
