As he's very much a 'hands-on' type of manager, you're just as likely to find Skip Norsic behind the wheel of one of the company's 40 ton trucks as you are to find him at his desk or in the boardroom. "I've had a Commercial Driver's License since 1966," he says, "and I've probably used it every work day since then. I firmly believe that, in business, you have to get out into the field in order to manage effectively. I want to see, first hand, what kind of service my customers are getting. And I want to know exactly what kind of problems my employees face each and every day. It's my job to correct whatever needs correcting. My family name is on those trucks and as the current head of the company, I'm the custodian of the reputation that my grandfather and my dad worked so hard to build. I take that responsibility seriously."

Emil Sr. ran the company from 1958 until he stepped down in 1980. Born in Sag Harbor, Emil worked in the business until WW II, when he left to join the Marines. After his discharge in 1945 he was hired by Grumman Aircraft as a welder and an instructor. In 1948 Emil decided that he would come back into the business. By this time he was married and starting his own family and along with his wife Anne, who kept the books and manned the telephone, he helped his father start to grow the company. Today, he gets to play golf a little more often than he used to, but still plays an important roll in the company as a valued advisor to his son, Skip (Emil Jr.). He is also the administrator of the Emil Norsic Scholarship Fund, named for his father who founded the company in 1932. Each year, the scholarship is awarded to a deserving high school senior to help further his or her education. Mr. and Mrs. Norsic are active in numerous community service organizations.
If logistics can be defined as the procurement, distribution and maintenance of equipment, materials and personnel, then understanding logistics is crucial to running this business. Counting roll-offs, small dumpsters and field sanitation units, we have thousands of pieces of equipment in the field and each of them must be delivered, retrieved, cleaned, repaired or replaced on schedule. That's not to mention a sizable fleet of trucks and other equipment that must be maintained in good condition to able to serve our customers, efficiently.

When he came to us with the acquisition of Nikolich Sanitation in 1998, it was soon evident that Stu Fuhlbrugge understood logistics. He had to. Upon leaving school at age 17, Stu went to work in the wholesale fish business where he competed with other wholesalers to buy product off docks from Montauk to Florida, trucked it to the company's packing plant in Philadelphia and from there, to the airport, (usually JFK) for shipment to destinations as far away as Europe, the Middle East and Asia. To make matters worse, Stu was dealing in live eels and getting his product from the dock to the customer, in good condition, was a logistical nightmare. But he mastered it. In 198-, Stu married and started a family. He left the fish business, and countless nights on the road, and went to work for Nikolich, a local sanitation company. In 1998, Norsic acquired that company and Stu came on board with us where he was instrumental in creating our roll-off business. In 2005, he was named General Manager. Now, if we could just pronounce his name...
