Bossardt Corporation Celebrates 25 Years

July 3, 2008 was the official mark of the Bossardt Corporation’s 25th year in business. We celebrated this major milestone event on July 15th at The Reserve in Plymouth, MN. We were delighted that so many of our current and former employees and clients were in attendance, along with John Bossardt’s family, business colleagues and friends.

As John reflects on the momentous event, “The 25-year anniversary party was, for me, probably the highlight of my career in the building construction business. Being at the podium and seeing before me over 150 people that have either hired us, worked with us, or partnered with us was truly unforgettable. The evening was a tribute to this great company we have all had a hand in building over all those years.”
