Lindar Corp. A success story - Discussion session with Sen. Amy Klobuchar

BAXTER — Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., made a stop at LINDAR Corp. in Baxter Wednesday as part of her ongoing "Made in America" economic tour that's designed to showcase successful Minnesota businesses and job creation.

The stop at LINDAR was one of four stops planned on Klobuchar's two-day tour. Business stops in Park Rapids, Bemidji, Grand Rapids and Duluth were also part of the senator's itinerary. Since late October, Klobuchar has visited nearly 20 businesses in Minnesota.

"This tour was incredibly impressive," Klobuchar said to a group of area dignitaries after touring LINDAR. "(LINDAR) and its leaders made it through the economic downturn and have been successful."

LINDAR, owned by Tom Haglin, is a plastics thermoforming company that specializes in stock plastic containers and custom plastic parts for the paint sundry, food packaging, retail packaging, medical parts and packaging and custom industrial component markets. The company is located in the Baxter Industrial Park. Haglin said the company began in 1993 with 15 employees and today there are 95 employees.
