Four generations of strong partnership

Sylvan and Basciani have been doing business together for four generations.  My grandfather, father, brothers and I; and now, our kids are partnering with Sylvan America too. Sylvan’s niche is their knowledge of the industry’s past combined with their innovative ideas for the future.  What I most like about Sylvan, is that their teams and experts care about the relationships. They make our family feel comfortable and we enjoy exchanging ideas with them.  We both share the same goals: to produce quality products and a lot of them.

Sylvan's way of working and thinking was key to our production success
