Horn Textile Inc. of Titusville contributed $25,000 to the Education & Training Center at Pitt-Titusville to support programs and to memorialize Jack and Irene Steinbuhler, according to a press release from the Education & Training Center at Pitt-Titusville.
The gift was made in memory of Irene and Jack Steinbuhler, a former owner of the company who dedicated 70 years of his life to the company until his passing in 2007, the release said. Along with his brother, Bill, he initiated innovation and change, including the development of new looms and dye machines, many of which are still used.
In addition to memorializing Irene and Jack Steinbuhler, the gift will be used to support ETC’s education and workforce training programs, according to the release.
The education and training center offers several diverse programs, which are now operating in newly renovated spaces in the J. Curtis McKinney II Student Union, which were unveiled last month.
