Founded in 1984, Weiland manufactures doors and windows for harsh environmental conditions, such as corrosive wash-down situations in sanitary food plants and wastewater facilities.  In a seven-year span from 2011, the company tripled in size thanks to product innovation and exceptional service. Building a new facility became critical to keeping pace with growth. 

NBDC consultant Loren Kucera guided the managing partners through the SBA loan application project and after a year of hard work, Weiland broke ground on a new plant in Norfolk.  "Needless to say, there was not an abundance of extra time to learn the ins-and-outs of a complicated loan process that involves so many parties," managing partner Carl Weiland says. "The task would have been quite ominous and probably close to impossible without Loren and NBDC."
