Indianapolis, IN -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/29/2015 -- Modern Materials Handling news reported Bill Bastian Sr. Celebrating 60 years with Bastian Solutions. Nowadays, it is rare to find an individual who has devoted 60 years of service to one company, and done so with as much passion, kindness and honesty as Bill Bastian Sr., previous owner and president of Bastian Solutions.
To this day, Bastian continues to mentor new employees and provide outstanding customer service to clients, several of which he has serviced for more than three decades.
"My dad has provided a tremendous foundation for this business to grow upon, and with a little luck and the good fortune of our employees, we've been able to do that," explained Bill Bastian II, CEO of Bastian Solutions. "But I think it's been his sense of integrity, honesty and fairness that has become the gold standard. It's part of our culture as a company, for our employees, and how we treat our customers."
In 1955, a 24-year-old Bill Bastian joined the E.C. Stark Company, then owned by his father-in-law. After several years of hard work, Bastian purchased the business from his father-in-law in 1962, and renamed it the Bastian Stark Company. Since the early days, Bastian has witnessed the company's continued growth from a conventional equipment distributor to a global material handling systems integrator.
Through the growth, Bastian remains a loyal employee and still manages two of Bastian Solutions' biggest accounts. On June 3, Bastian Solutions welcomed Mayor James Brainard from Carmel, Ind., during a celebration for Bastian at the company's headquarters. In honor of Bastian's 60th anniversary and dedication to the community, Brainard proclaimed June 3 as Bill Bastian Sr. day in the city of Carmel.
