Minnesota Trip

So as you may know, this past week was the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Satellite Industries. The celebration started off with a tour of Biff's. They are a portable toilet company in Minnesota, with a very impressive operation. I got this from their website:

"Biffs, Inc. started in 1986. The company had 200 portable restrooms, 4 trucks, 5 employees and a vision. That vision was to provide service so good that people would want to use us over and over again. Our goal, then and now, is to make every project a little bit easier and every special event a bit more special.

Today, Biffs, Inc. remains a family owned business. We operate from 2 locations in the Metro Area. Although portable restrooms remain the foundation of Biffs, Inc. In 2000 we began providing dumpster service with www.BiffsBoxes.com. Since 2005, Biffs, Inc has started to rent 20’ and 40’ storage containers. One call-three critical services to meet all your needs."

Then there was lunch and a tour of Satellite's facilities. That night, Satellite had a lovely event at the Northland Inn (gorgeous). There were speeches by Todd and Al Hilde, the current owner and the founder of the company. The origins of the company and the story of how it all started are truly impressive.

Satellite put together a lovely event. We are happy to wish them another 50 years of success!!!
