Have you ever seen how paper is made? This summer, Weidmann came up with a clever way to show the community what they do. At the Champaign County Fair, Weidmann had a paper making station set up for kids to make their own paper.

When we see a transformer station, we don’t think of paper, but Weidmann provides the insulation that is put around the electrical components.  Weidman has been the leader in insulation solutions for over 150 years. With 30 locations and over 2700 employees, we are proud that Weidmann has made Urbana one of their locations.
 Weidman will be passing out candy during Trick-or-Treat on October 31, 2022 at their location, 700 W. Court Street in Urbana, from 6-8pm.
