CEO Michael Riggs and his daughter, Chairman Sarah Riggs Amico, have spent years turning around this long-time vehicle-hauling company since he acquired it in 2009. In November 2019, Jack Cooper Transport exited bankruptcy proceedings—just in time for the auto industry’s supply chain to get snarled by a global pandemic. So the work goes on, but there’s no denying the success in rebuilding it, tripling the employees count to more than 3,000 nationally, and ranking among Transport Topics’ Top 100 trucking firms. 90 years (founded 1933) Shaw Electric Co. Four generations deep into family ownership, Shaw Electric says the success that has kept it going for 90 years is grounded in the same commit ment to good service and hard work that founder Frank Shaw brought to his fledgling enterprise in 1933. It has grown from small service electrical work to a team of 175 that includes electrical engineers, technicians, proj ect managers, and estimators, with a service portfolio that covers more than 25 states. It’s client roster includes companies from health care, industrial, government and commercial/residential settings, as well as schools, retail and hospitality/entertainment venues. 75 years (founded 1948) Smiley’s Golf Complex Many long-time residents of Johnson County swatted their first golf balls at Smiley’s Sportsland in Lenexa, long before the company pulled up pins and relocated further west, not far from where K-7 meets I-435. Now branded as Smiley’s Golf Complex, it features a highly challenging mini golf course, a driving range that for 18 years has been ranked among the nation’s top 100, and an 18-hole executive course. For schedule-challenged executives, the latter is key: Smiley’s doesn’t require tee times: “Just show and go!” it says. Lift Truck Sales & Service Lift Truck Sales & Service provides material handling and aerial solu tions, including forklifts, material-handling equipment, scissor lifts, heavy-duty battery charging equipment and other devices that provide mus cle to manufacturing and construction operations. With offices in Kansas City and Springfield, it serves eastern Kansas and western Missouri deal- ing in new and used equipment sales, rentals, parts and service, and it’s a past winner of Clark Material Handling’s Dealer of Excellence and Dealer of Distinction awards. Ozanam It started in 1948 with the commitment of one man and a handful of volunteers who refused to let society cast off half a dozen abused an abandoned boys. Through the years, what began as the Ozanam Home for Boys has grown into a non-profit co-ed treatment center in south Kan sas City has educated thousands of children with behavioral and emotion al problems and learning disabilities. It provides residential treatment, group home living, independent living services and behavior-consultation services for schools.
