In the heart of Holdingford, Minnesota, a town of just over 600 people, there’s a stainless steel fabrication shop making a national impact. From coast to coast and border to border, Two Rivers Enterprises (TRE) delivers top-tier custom stainless steel equipment to food processors, restaurants, pharmacies, and medical facilities. 

But here at home, the company is known for more than just exceptional products. It’s known for building something deeper: people, careers, and community. That’s why the Central Minnesota Manufacturers Association (CMMA) proudly named Two Rivers Enterprises the 2024 Manufacturer of the Year. “Two Rivers Enterprises exemplifies what it means to be a Manufacturer of the Year,” said CMMA Executive Director Lynda Bailey. “They’re building more than stainless steel equipment, they’re building futures.” 

Founded in 2001 by brothers Bob and Dan Warzecha, TRE has grown steadily into a regional powerhouse. Now led by Bob’s son Brian Warzecha the second and third generations are helping guide the company into a new era, armed with strategic plans, strong partnerships, and a people-first philosophy. Building More Than Equipment TRE’s custom stainless steel equipment is built for durability, safety, and performance.  Read the entire TRE story in the CMMA 2025 Tour of Manufacturing virtual magazine.
