A Failed Merger Becomes A Blessing for Stuyvesant

"They would have gone someplace else," he says. "I jobbed out all the work and took a loss. But I kept the business alive."

Not only did he keep Stuyvesant alive, he gave it new life.

"If I had mirrored the business before it merged, I may not have made it," Roesch notes, emphasizing the old business had outgrown its facility and equipment. "The failed merger was a blessing in disguise. It gave me the chance to start over with the best technology my money could buy."
