Built to Last: 70 Years of Lansing with Chris & Hunter Lansing

For 70 years, Lansing Building Products has been built on people, relationships, and a commitment to making a positive impact in people's lives. In this special episode of the Positive Impact Podcast, Lansing communication manager Wes McElroy sits down with two generations of family leadership, former President & CEO Chris Lansing and current President & CEO Hunter Lansing. Their conversation is a candid reflection on Lansing's founding, history, family transitions, and enduring culture. Chris shares memories from the founding of Lansing, when his father Ted Lansing started the company in 1955. From early sacrifices to unexpected loss and economic challenges, he reflects on the early years of the business. Hunter reflects on stepping into leadership, navigating major moments like the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Lansing/Harvey merger, and the ongoing challenge of growing a business while preserving its family feel. Together, they discuss leadership, resilience, stewardship, and what it means to build something truly Built to Last—not just for today, but for generations to come. Whether you are part of the Lansing team, a customer, or someone interested in family-owned businesses and leadership, this conversation offers an honest look at what hasn’t changed in 70 years and never should.
