Businesses are increasingly finding creative ways to personalize and energize their work environments.

Wolgast Golf Classic Supports JA and Financial Literacy for 28th Year
In honor of the Wolgast® Golf Classic occurring June 18, 2025, I thought it would be interesting to search back in the archives for how it all began and the history between the two organizations.
The relationship between Junior Achievement (JA) and Wolgast Corporation goes back before Wolgast became the Title Sponsor to their golf outing 28 years ago. In 1975, Wolgast had built their original office in Saginaw where they remained until they merged with other local chapters and moved to Midland in 2010.

Remodeling a Commercial Building Exterior
You have the means to strengthen your company’s branding and awareness of your business through a skyline shift.

It is more than a remodel, it’s a strategic reinvention of your building’s façade and roofline. By incorporating your branded color and signage, it will make the business easily recognizable and noticeable for passersby and help signify the building entrance if that is an issue you face.

Extending ductwork or upgrading an existing centralized system can be costly, disruptive, and inefficient—especially when the new space has different usage patterns or environmental requirements.
