Fruehauf Homecoming Reunion

The former Fruehauf headquarters is occupied by the family owned company, PVS Chemicals on Harper Avenue in Detroit.  They hosted a Fruehauf reunion BBQ lunch for former Fruehauf employees who flew in from around the country.  Their incredible team was warm, welcoming and helpful as we explored history in the hundred year old building.  What a terrific day!  Thank you PVS!
