Consistent dedication to innovation, the mantra of the company was "The Larkin Idea: Save all cost that adds no value" Through the decades since the Larkin Company, the complex has been host to hundreds of local and international businesses that have continued the Larkin legacy. The Larkin Center of Commerce has served as the incubator for many local success stories through time. We are confident that we will continue in this tradition in the decades to come.
