Looking to the future Duracon’s reputation in the industry far outweighs Fred and John’s desire for rapid expansion. “Our purpose is to provide a service to the community that was lacking when we started,” says Fred. “If you’re no use to your community, there’s no sense to be around. We’re fine with keeping up with the growth of the community, however growth is not all important if quality and service begin to fail.” We want to make sure our people are treated well and retain our people,” says John. “I’m very happy we have people who are very good at what they do, be it parts and maintenance, engineering ideas, scientific, keeping abreast of new ideas and tech and deciding if it’s a good thing to integrate into the business.” JUNE 2024
