Rubio lays out energy vision at Salem plant
GOSHEN
Dave and Carol Julian of Salem wanted to hear top-contending Republican presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio in person.
When they watched the Republican debate, something about Rubio impressed them.
“I like his exuberance,” Dave said.
“He held his own” in the debate, Carol said. “He got right to the point.”
When the Julians heard Rubio would speak at BOC Water Hydraulics here Friday afternoon, they made sure they would be there to hear what he had to say about energy – an important industry that affects every industry and an industry that many businesses want to see change.
Rubio, 44, of Florida, arrived to BOC Water Hydraulics at 12024 Salem-Warren Road at about 2:30 p.m. for a tour with Todd Olson, company president.
Olson’s father, Don, started the water-hydraulics company in 1993. The company, with about 50 employees, manufactures green products such as high-pressure water pumps and stainless-steel reservoirs for a variety of industries across the world. BOC works with customers in oil and gas and in heavy metals.
In his speech to about 250 inside BOC’s facility, Rubio laid out his vision for energy to about 250 people.
