“Mr. Heddles took pride in his role in American manufacturing, and in keeping his company true to its Ohio roots,” the senator said.

“Over the years, Tiffin Metal Products has provided good jobs to hundreds of people in Tiffin and Seneca County, and those workers have shown the world that Ohioans know how to make things and make them well.”
