History |
The Tenzel/Fleischer family has been lighting the way for three generations. Hermitage Lighting Gallery was founded in 1944 by the late Jack Tenzel. In 1954, Tenzel's son-in-law, Gerald Fleischer, joined the company and subsequently became President. Today, Tenzel's daughter, Doris Fleischer, serves as Secretary/Treasurer, and Gerald acts as Chairman of the Board. Their son, Jack Fleischer, succeeded Gerald as President in 1996.
"Our long history in this business sends a positive message to our customers. We are stable, reliable, and we try to do the right thing," says Jack Fleischer. "We have a very strong referral business with many loyal customers." |
