“Thank you to the Business Courier. I'm grateful, but let me be clear about whose award this is. It belongs to the nearly 3,000 people of LSI. On our plant floors, in our offices and on job sites, they sweat the details, treat our customers and each other with respect, and do what they say they will do. That's how you build a company that lasts 50 years.”
