“Trendway has been in the business of creating beautiful spaces and quality products for 50 years, and it's because of our employee's commitment to making speed and ease the defining experience for our customers that we've achieved this level of success,” said Don Heeringa, chairman and CEO of Trendway Corporation.
In addition to Trendway employees, Heeringa credits his time in the Army as one of the factors that enabled him to lead and develop Trendway into a successful organization. He served the Transportation Corps of the US Army in Germany for two years during the Vietnam War. The Heeringa family purchased the company five years after its founding.
Trendway also was awarded the SBA Michigan Veteran Owned Small Business of the Year award in May 2018. The company is a certified Veteran Owned Small Business by the U.S. Department of Affairs and was voted a Top Veteran Owned Business by the U.S. Veterans Magazine.
