every capacity in associations such as the ADSC-IAFD, Deep
Foundations Institute, Pile Driving Contractors Association
and Associated Equipment Distributors.
“One of our values,” said Roy, “is to promote and enhance
the industry and we work hard at doing that. Our main ave-nues
are providing customer feedback to our manufacturers
to keep them at the cutting edge of technology, and also
being active members in the trade organizations that affect
our industry.”
The future of ECA
Roy is not so bold as to make predictions about ECA’s future,
but he has a pragmatic understanding of why the firm is
rocketing past the 100-year mark.
ECA has evolved into a large and complex enterprise
over the past century, but Roy has not lost sight of its great-est
achievements: long-term employees, relationships with
customers and manufacturers and the ability to adapt and
survive. He also recognizes the importance of succession
planning from the corporate office to the branches. As he
thinks back to 1921, when his grandfather worked in ECA’s
typing pool, Roy believes Len would be enamored by the
quality and quantity of his employees, business savvy, techni-cal
advances and financial position.
“I would hope that the company continues to take care of
its customers and employees and adapts in any way it needs
to,” he said. “I’d like to believe we would be at the cutting
edge of technology and remain very service and customer
oriented.”
Based on the past 100 years of ECA’s history, the odds are
high that he will be right.
