Big Lake rolled out the "red carpet.: Four years later, we continue to have strong commitment and support to grow Lupulin Brewing...

LISI MEDICAL Remmele has been proud to call Big Lake its home for more than 20 years. We've found the workforce in Big Lake and the surrounding communities to be a key asset to our success. The Big Lake Schools have been a great partner as we've rolled out our Youth Apprenticeship Program. We've also been pleased with the welcoming/open for business approach of the City of Big Lake. It played a role in our decision to double our manufacturing space in the City.
