We are a family business that's family-oriented. Although we have grown considerably over the years, our people remain our most valuable asset, and quality is still our #1 priority. Since 1985, our sales force has expanded from four to over 65 reps ­ and all four of the original reps are still with us today! We are equally proud that 20 of our manufacturing employees have been with us for over 15 years. Today, our Maple Lake plant runs four shifts, five days a week, employing over 100 workers.
