S&G anniversary
Tuesday, February 1st, 2011In early 1961, two friends made official what had been in the planning stages for months – by formally incorporating their ideas into a real company.
These friends already knew how to run a business – after all they had running another one all along. But they needed a new vehicle that would allow them to stretch their imaginations. They needed the ability to try different ideas without worrying about employees and overhead.
Looking back, the first of many ideas perhaps seems simple: Moving a file cabinet without having to empty the contents first. But as any inventor knows even the simplest ideas have challenges. Eventually the idea was perfected, patented and the first of over 10,000 Lift-A-File cabinet handtrucks were built over the next 30 years.
Today marks the 50th Anniversary of S&G Enterprises, Inc.
My congratulations to those two friends, Al Saunders & Lorin Griffith for daring to live the their dreams. While the partners went their separate ways in 1964, their friendship continues to this day. It is from their innovation and desire for independence that this generation of S&G strives to offer innovative solutions to customers all over the world.
Thank you Dad & Al for allowing me to carry on the legacy.
Sincerely,
Mark J. Griffith
President
