Ocean Strategy" on Tuesday, May 11, from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. at F.K. Bemis

International Center on the St. Norbert College campus. This is the final

presentation in the 2009-10 CEO Breakfast and Strategy Series. The series is

sponsored by Grant Thornton LLP and Insight Publications.

TBL Business Development is the parent company of TWH Collectibles, a

Manitowoc firm specializing in high-quality, die-cast replicas used by companies

including Oshkosh Corporation, Pierce Manufacturing and Peterbilt Motors. The

TBL Business Development portfolio also includes the Manitowoc Main Street

complex, a key contributor to the city's downtown revitalization.

Hemken founded TWH Collectibles in 2004, and TBL Business Development in

ocean strategy" in market development, which focuses on the creation of
