Bison employees were recognized at the annual holiday party held this year on November 26. This holiday party marked the 50th holiday party.
“I founded this company 50 years ago with high school friend, Elmer Wessel,” Cusick said. “Our first customer was Kawasaki Motors, who had just moved to Lincoln in 1974. Bison began in 1985 as an offshoot of our company, Industrial Machines Specialties.”
