And when Lescoa, a family-owned, auto-accessory manufacturing company in west Michigan since 1945, was combined with American Bumper, it's competitor from Ionia, the pledge to "not take the company apart" was communicated. However, that pledge was quickly forgotten as American's executives took over, ignoring the family-styled people-culture of decades past.
