Fisher is a young centenarian growing stronger every day. Last
May 8, we rang the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange
to mark our 100th birthday. We were honored to have more than
30 customers join us for the ceremony. Fisher’s longevity
and strength are quite remarkable. Not many companies trading
on the Big Board in 2002 were in business 100 years ago, and
even fewer are still pursuing the same line of business.
The following week, Fisher customers, suppliers, employees and
members of the Fisher family gathered for a centennial celebration
in Pittsburgh, the company’s birthplace. Without their
tireless support and dedication to excellence, we would not
have succeeded for 100 years. Today, we remain true to the vision
and principles of serving the scientist that originated with
Chester G. Fisher, who was only 21 when he founded the business.
More than a century later, providing research scientists with
the supplies and equipment essential to their work is still
our core business. And we continue to be guided by the founder’s
insistence on putting the customer first. |
