This Week’s Craft Talk
On the eve of LVC Companies’ 35th anniversary, Robbie Danko thought it would be appropriate to have a quiz on the company and its relationship to the Minneapolis Breakfast Club.
Some of the highlights were:
- LVC (through J.N. Johnson owned by John Goodwyne) joined the Breakfast Club in 1974.
- LVC has grown from three employees in 1982 to 202 employees in 2017.
- LVC now has eight offices in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Arizona.
- LVC offers Security Systems, Structured Cable, Fire Sprinklers, and Industrial Fire Protection.
