S-B-C Business Graduates
The Sustainable Business Center is saying good-bye to one of the Business in their Incubator.

Lamboo Inc, who've been with the S-B-C since January 2012 terminated their lease at the end of the year and are headed out on their own.

President and CEO of Lamboo Inc Luke Schuette said in a news release form the City "the business was able to reach a point where they could make acquisitions for fabrication and distribution across the country."

Global Strategies Director Gary Camarano tells WGIL Lamboo was able to accomplish their goals in about a years time and the SBC can't take all the credit.

"It happened a lot sooner than any of us thought," says Camarano. "We attribute it more to the product and the opportunities that are opening up to them because of that."

Camarano says Lamboo maybe leaving the area they're still staying on the region--he says they'll be working with Red Bud Ridge Custom Shop out of Peoria.

He says there is already talk about the possibility of partnering up with Lamboo in the future to work on other sustainable ideas.
