208 209 CASE SNOWMANAGEMENT of his commercial clients. Recently, Business View Magazine spoke with Case about his company, ranked on Inc. Maga- zine’s list of the top 5000 Fastest Growing Com- panies in the country. The following is an edited transcript of that conversation. BVM: Can you tell us about the genesis of Case Snow Management? Case: “My grandfather was the original founder of J.E. Case Companies, which started in 1951. That company primarily consisted of site work, utility installation, and some development. My dad, being the eldest in his generation, ended up taking the company over, and grew and diver- sified that business into a number of different service lines, but its core competency was still site work. I came in after college and worked in the family business and developed a couple of di- visions –one being a snow division and another being a landscape and yard supply division—and spent about eight years growing those two divi- sions of the company. “I was still an employee, and I wanted more ownership in the company. I have four brothers, so I understand my father really wasn’t able to provide me with that, so I separated the snow management division and started an LLC, and left the nest to run it on my own. That was the initial, 2009 startup of Case Snow Management. And from then on, it’s been a whirlwind of growth and opportunity, and it’s been very successful.” BVM: How many employees do you have and Over the last 70 years, Fisher Engineering has been building a legacy on the icy shores of Rockland, Maine.
