General Manager Mike Gaydos said, "In 1911, James Herron built a company that would outlive him by 60 years and is still going strong in 2011. We are very excited to have the opportunity to recognize Mr. Herron and his family for 100 years of service to the industries of Ohio and the surrounding region. Today, Stork Herron has global ties and provides services all around the world, thanks to the strong foundation and culture of service that he established.
