Olsson Roofing Company will celebrate its 100th anniversary this month at its headquarters in Aurora, Ill. Bill Lynch, one of the company’s principal owners, noted that while everyone at Olsson is proud of the achievement, their focus is firmly on the future.
“There’s a great deal of pride in all of our employees,” Lynch said. “One of the things we emphasize is that while 100 years is a milestone, it’s not the end of the race in any way, shape or form. One thing that you have to guard against always is complacency. You can’t get complacent. The market is constantly changing, so we have to keep challenging ourselves internally and externally to keep reinventing the company.”
