The job outlook continues to improve in Moses Lake. Genie Industries, one of Moses Lake's larger employers, plans to move a telehandler manufacturing line from Baraga, Mich., to here in early 2010, the company recently announced.

It is part of a consolidation where production line will be staffed with existing employees in Moses Lake, according to Melinda Zimmerman-Smith, a company spokesperson for the aerial lift manufacturer.

"Adding volume to any plant is always positive. The telehandler market is partially related to the residential housing market, she stated.

"As the housing market returns to growth, then the volume requirements for telehandlers will increase," she stated.  "Having those products in Moses Lake means increasing volumes in the future for that facility.

Genie Industries began in 1966 with the introduction of the Genie® Hoist, a portable, pneumatic material lift. It was followed by additional material lifts and a series of aerial work platforms to meet customer demand - products that quickly gained worldwide recognition and often represented breakthroughs in design.
