Some businesses grow by design while others grow by opportunity. DL Smith Electric launched a multigenerational legacy when a gas station worker took his uncle’s advice to become an electrician. Heritage Bank doubled its size and influence by acquiring a century-old competitor. Between the two are companies like Schendel, using handshake deals and hard work to steadily expand their reach.
Despite taking different paths, they’ve all reached the same destination: sustainable success.
