Local entrepreneur Wilfred “Dick” Tegtmeier was inducted into the Nebraska Business Hall of Fame for employing more than 600 Nebraskans and giving Beatrice the unofficial title of "Lawn Mower Capital of the World.” Moreover, the companies Tegtmeier established, Exmark and Encore (now Worldlawn Power Equipment), are still local economic powerhouses. After 40 years, these companies still supply the region with jobs and opportunities.
