According to an online report from television station WMMT, the company was recognized for “50 years of service to the community” by the Kalamazoo City Commission at a mid-July meeting.
The TV station quotes Schupan & Sons owner Mark Schupan as saying, “Our business philosophy has been pretty much [that] there’s nothing as clever as honesty and sincerity, and that’s worked for us.” He also credited the hard work of his employees, according to WMMT.
