Lapp Electric Turns 50 – Week 49 (D.H. Funk, Best Places to Work in PA & Leadership)

In 1969, Manny Lapp took a leap of faith and founded Lapp Electric.

Our first “office” was located in Bird-in-Hand and one year prior to Manny starting Lapp Electric, our friends down the street, the Smucker family, put the town of Bird-in-Hand on the map when they opened the 30 room Bird-in-Hand Motor Inn.

In honor of their 50th year anniversary in the hospitality industry, the Smucker family published a book.

The Smucker family and Lapp family have a long-standing relationship and we were honored to see Manny’s family featured in The Bird-in-Hand Story.

Want to find out more about the Smucker family and Lapp family’s long standing relationship? Purchae your copy of The Bird in Hand Story today. It would make a great Christmas gift!

Congratulations Smucker Family on 51 years in business in 2019.
