Paul and John Lordan are brothers and co-business owners of Steele Canvas Basket — a manufacturing organization that’s been around for more than 100 years.

Now here’s what’s interesting…

While the business environment has changed dramatically over the course of a whole century, their core product has remained largely the same.

So how’s that possible?

As these two manufacturing leaders will tell you, success has been a product of the fundamentals:

Focus. Resilience. Product quality. Open-mindedness of leadership. Respecting the people. Commitment to their community.

My key takeaway?

You don’t have to go cheap or sell out to run a great manufacturing business.
