My company (Laacke & Joys) is celebrating 180 years. The average age of a company in the US is 10 years, so 180 is crazy! It's quite a number to wrap my brain around, so for a bit of context, here's what else was going on in 1844: 👉 The Milwaukee Sentinel, now the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, stopped spelling Milwaukee like this: Milwaukie. 👉 The Wisconsin Territory was just eight years old and four years away from statehood. 👉 Milwaukee is still two years away from being formally incorporated. 👉 The Civil War is 17 years away. So much has changed in the world and the marketplace in those 180 years. Some years have been great successes, with other years being less so. How to enjoy and maximize the successes; while mitigating and learning from the failures is every company's (and individual's) challenge. That Laacke & Joys, (with their brands of LJ Design & Manufacturing and Concept Seating) have been able to do this for 180 years is quite the feat! Cheers to many more! 🥂 🎉
