Mr. William Francis, President Francis Manufacturing
"We have owned and operated our family business in Russia, Ohio for the past 64
years. Our small, rural community and surrounding areas are blessed with an abundance
of hard-working, Christian families who instill upon their children a work ethic not
common in so many of the large urban centers of today. The outstanding school system
and quality of workforce make this community an ideal place in which to be successful in
today's challenging business environment."
Mr. Edward Borchers, Past President Superior Aluminum
Superior Aluminum Products was incorporated in Youngstown, Ohio, in 1956. In 1966, with a change in ownership, the Company moved to Russia, Ohio. Due to the company's success in the last 40 years, Superior Aluminum Products, Inc. has moved from their initial location into two larger facilities, due in part to the following reasons:
• Small, rural farming community with excellent work ethics.
• The school system's academic rating ranks #11 out of some 600 plus districts in the
state. A testimonial to the parent/teacher/student involvement.
• Easily accessible to state and interstate highways.
• Village boasts an exceptionally well equipped park for all to enjoy.
• Many small supportive companies located in the area.
• An excellent Midwestern location for interstate trade.
• Larger than average size families with exceptional family values due to a deep religious
background.
Ken Francis, President Francis Schulze Company
"The community of Russia has been instrumental in the success of our third generation family business. The high standards set by the Russia community and the local work force has helped Francis Schulze Company become a leader in the distribution of wholesale building materials for over 50 years."
Michael Moore, Superintendent Russia Local Schools
"Russia Local School and the Russia community are a fine example of school and community collaboration. Parents and families have high expectations for their children which leads to high achieving students who demonstrate a strong work ethic. Russia students graduate with the skills needed to be successful."
