Greenheck Group announces Wellness Center in Shelby Greenheck Group, a leading manufacturer of commercial air movement, control, and conditioning equipment, announced that its existing Shelby campus would be the newest location for an on-site Wellness Center, complete with a health clinic and fitness center. Currently operating a Wellness Center at its flagship campus in Schofield, WI, Greenheck Group’s decision to open a Wellness Center in Shelby was driven by the challenges its team members and their families in the North Carolina region face in accessing healthcare. “Through our experience with the WI Campus Wellness Center, we know firsthand the positive impact that onsite healthcare can have for team members and their families,” said Rich Totzke, CEO of Greenheck Group. “Recognizing the barriers our team members face in accessing healthcare in the NC region, the Wellness Center will address these challenges, offering greater support for them and their families.” Greenheck Group employs over 5,300 team members in eight states, Mexico, and India. It plans to break ground in 2025 on the existing campus in Shelby
