| Leading
heating and plumbing equipment manufacturer Taco, Inc. and
New England based manufacturer rep agency Emerson-Swan, Inc.
have celebrated 75 years of business association together.
The two companies have been
associated in business since 1935, just three years after
Emerson- Swan started out in business, and seventeen years
after the creation of Taco (then the Thermal Appliance Co.)
in 1920. 2010 marks Taco’s 90th year in business.
Returning an initial
gesture of recognition and thanks provided to Taco and its
employees by Emerson- Swan, Taco President and CEO John
Hazen White, Jr. and members of Taco’s Executive Operating
Committee paid a visit to Emerson-Swan headquarters in
Randolph, MA recently to host a barbecue lunch for
Emerson-Swan employees.

| Introduced
by Joe Swan, Chief Executive Officer of Emerson-Swan, Mr.
White presented an oversize thank-you card signed by
virtually all of Taco’s employees. “Taco has been in
business for 90 years, so we virtually grew up in the
business together,” commented John White on the occasion.
“My father forged a close working relationship with Tom
Swan Sr., and he lived to work with Tom’s sons, Tom and
Joe. For the past 30 years, I’ve worked closely with Tom
and Joe, senior veterans in the business.
Over the decades Taco and
Emerson-Swan have been through thick and thin together,
helping each other out in tough times, and so it’s
especially gratifying to see how each company has succeeded.
I am sure that Emerson-Swan, like other manufacturer rep
stalwarts in our industry, can point to other manufacturers
that they’ve been representing for many decades, and Taco
has similar long-term relationships ongoing with other major
rep agencies around the country. When all is said and done,
it’s close, long term relationships like these that make
our business go round.”
