  • An Interview with Gerry Korb
    May 19 2021

    Today we talk with Gerry Korb, friend and owner of Port Industries.

    Port Industries is a Palmyra-based company with over 50+ employees that specialized in the manufacture and servicing of trenchers. They became an ECCHIC client 11 years ago, when they grew frustrated with the rising cost of health insurance.

    In their time with us, they have been able to provide the same health insurance premiums to their employees without raising rates or cutting benefits. That is what The ECCHIC Group can do.

    We appreciate Gerry taking the time to talk with Howard and are grateful for his insight into the customer-side of the ECCHIC experience. If you would like to learn more about ECCHIC, please visit our website and check out our upcoming events. Thank you.
