J.N. Johnson and LVC have a long history together beginning more than 35 years ago when John Goodwyne, J.N. Johnson’s owner, started LVC. Both companies have continued to collaborate over the years and together have sold, installed and serviced major fire suppression projects in Minnesota and elsewhere.
“By utilizing the talents and resources of both JNJ and LVC we provide capabilities that few other companies possess and the ability to design, provide, install and service the entire system platform,” Hoertsch says.
