Headquartered in Chicago, the company was founded in 1984 by Richard Sawilchik and is run today by Bryan Sawilchik and Ross Ridder. The company operates a network of three locations in the greater Chicago area, each under a unique brand name, and currently employs a team of 34 employees.

"Bryan and Ross have been excellent stewards of the company’s legacy as it passed into its second generation of family ownership and we are honored to welcome their entire team to the SRS family," Tinker said.

Sawilchik and Ridder will continue to lead the company’s dedicated employee base under their existing brands, ensuring continuity and consistency for customers, suppliers, and employees.

“After nearly 40 years in business, our hardworking team has earned a reputation for providing quality products and exceptional service to our loyal customer base," said Sawilchik and Ridder in a joint statement. "We have an enormous amount of respect for the way SRS does business and firmly believe they will help take the company to newfound heights. With the support of SRS’ extensive resources, our new partnership will allow us to jumpstart growth while providing our people with opportunities to grow with the company for years to come.”
