Garner, Iowa — Stellar Industries, a 100% employee-owned and -operated manufacturer of high-quality mechanic and service trucks, service cranes, service truck and van accessories, tire trucks and manipulators, hooklifts, fuel and lube trucks, trailers and more, has once again worked with its dedicated employees to give back to the local Iowa community. Together, Stellar employees raised over $20,000 for United Way of North Central Iowa. Notably, Stellar matched the collective employee contributions, resulting in a grand total of $40,368 donated to United Way during the 2024 holiday season.

Stellar’s annual donation to United Way of North Central Iowa is a reminder of the company’s commitment to the communities they call home. In 2024, Stellar also contributed to local initiatives, including donating a UR10 collaborative robot to North Iowa Area Community College’s (NIACC) Industrial Automation and Robotics Technology (IART) program, a substantial monetary donation to a local childcare center in Garner, and more. 

“Charitable giving has always been a priority for Stellar and our employees,” said David Zrostlik, President of Stellar. “To once again be able to provide a wonderful organization with funds raised by our dedicated employees is truly an honor.”

Stellar channels its corporate giving toward initiatives in communities, social services and education. The company currently operates facilities in Garner, Kanawha and Mason City, Iowa; Hastings, Nebraska; Galion, Ohio; and Pottstown, Pennsylvania.
