The office design, including the state of the art furniture, was designed and selected by our own staff members. The design incorporates the original brick walls which have been in place for almost a century, with sleek glass surfaces that lend a modern air and openness resembling something featured in the Silicon Valley. A number of visitors remarked in awe how “Googlelike” it looked and what an outstanding addition the building is to the cityscape. In his remarks to those in attendance, company President Roger Clarke praised the work of the staff, the city, and David Ruhnau, Chairman of the company, for his courage in making the commitment to complete such a project. Roger thought David’s father, Herman, the founder of the company, would be very pleased with this very special project.
