Both Charlie and Deuce have worked for the Kansas City-based company for more than 40 years.
“It’s been quite a ride,” Deuce said. “So many changes that have taken place over these past 40 years – from moving our headquarters and manufacturing facilities to the significant advancements that we’ve made in technology – it’s amazing to see how much progress we’ve made.”
