The Lawson Story
Sidney L. Port founded Lawson Products in 1952 with a simple goal—to provide for his family. He accomplished that and much, much more.
Mr. Port was a native Chicagoan and a graduate of Lane Tech High School, University of Illinois and DePaul University. After early careers as a publisher and an attorney, Mr. Port joined his father-in-law’s company, Lion Auto Parts. During his rise to executive vice president there, he recognized an opportunity and confirmed its potential by first selling fasteners out of the trunk of his car. That experience convinced him that no one else was effectively supplying businesses with small, consumable parts necessary to keeping their businesses running.
