Giving Time To Help Others

MSC's involvement in the communities we serve dates back to 1941 and our founder, Sid Jacobson. Sid believed that companies were accountable not just to shareholders but to their communities. Our brand promise, “Built to Make You Better,” honors that purpose and what we stand for: We exist for the betterment of others, not ourselves.
