Prior to 1981, 3A Marine Service was a proprietorship owned by Edwin Lofgren who was a full time high school teacher and part time at the business.The business grew by leaps and bounds together with the high-energy economy of the 1980s and public interest in boating. Two significant steps were taken by the company in response to the above-mentioned growth. First, 3A Marine Service was incorporated and secondly, the land and buildings that house the business were purchased. This growth was chiefly spawned by our service orientation. Everything was, and is today, driven by Customer Service, and structured around a service center. Today, 3A Marine Service has an excellent reputation as one of the best marine service facilities in Massachusetts, and for Customer Service. This service, is, and will remain a focal point for the business. By 1988, growth was admittedly a management threat to business.
