  ## History
  
  The company was founded in Antioch, Illinois by William A. Fischer in 1972. Initially, the customer base was local to Chicago and the Midwest, but into the 1980s, it began to expand.
  
  A now-closed facility was opened in Tampa to facilitate expansion. In 2011, the company opened another facility in Waukegan, Illinois. The company now serves customers throughout the United States.
