After growing internationally over the past two decades, A. Epstein and Sons, Inc. decided to announce our international presence by changing our name to A. Epstein and Sons International, Inc. A significant percentage of our business was being conducted internationally, primarily in Europe and Israel, and the new name helped cement our international capabilities. In addition, the 80s proved to be very fruitful in terms of completing signature buildings. In 1983 one of Chicago’s most famous buildings, the Smurfit-Stone Container Building with its dramatically angled roof was completed and the well received United Airlines Terminal One Complex at O’Hare International went on-line in 1988. The 80s also saw the passing of the leadership baton at our firm. In 1983, shortly before moving into our new world headquarters at 600 West Fulton Street, Raymond Epstein retired. Sidney Epstein became our Chairman and CEO and Mickey Kupperman, a 25-year veteran of the Epstein organization, became President. Significant Epstein Events
