WHAT HAS FUELED YOUR COMPANY’S GROWTH? Dedication to product reliability and customer service.
DO YOU PLAN CHANGES IN YOUR COMPANY IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS? Yes. WHO ARE THE BUSINESS PEOPLE, LOCAL OR NATIONALLY, WHOM YOU ADMIRE? AND WHAT TRAITS DO THOSE PEOPLE EXHIBIT THAT MAKES YOU ADMIRE THEM?
The founders have been influenced by the leaders of several local companies for whom they worked including Nate Zelazo at Astronautics, Donn Dresselhuys at Autotrol and Harry Quadracci at Quad/Graphics. These leaders not only developed substantial businesses, but also helped to develop a generation of future business leaders in Milwaukee.
WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK FOR THE BUSINESS CONDITIONS OF YOUR INDUSTRY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS? State and local government budgets seem to be improving, with more infrastructure projects moving forward and numerous new projects under design. Many of our projects are related to treatment plant construction or improvements and are located in high growth areas of the country. Demand for public facilities in these high growth locations do not seem to be adversely affected by price adjustments in the housing market. Demand is ultimately driven by local population growth, economic activity and employment growth.
Congratulations from these strategic partners:
