Morris Group International Releases Season Three, Chapter Three Video: Growing Acorn and Smith

CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA – August 4, 2022


Morris Group International has released a new video in the ongoing series of insider videos. Seasons One and Two featured MGI Chief Executive Officer Donald E. Morris. Season Three will focus on Don’s children and their positions within MGI.

Season Three, Chapter Three features Barrett Morris, President of Acorn Engineering Company and Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co.

“I am filled with an immense amount of pride,” says Barret about his position as president of Acorn and Smith. It takes a lot of skill, planning, and overall vision to preside over these two divisions and foster their individual strengths.

To grow Acorn, Barrett focuses on quickly adapting. “We’ve created processes that allow us to do it in one way and then quickly do it another way. Those things, we’ve found, have been really instrumental in our success because we can bend and move and dodge and weave fast.” When it comes to Smith, “they’re all about being able to continue to shave minutes off their ability to deliver products,” which is key because Smith® drains are often some of the first products needed on for a build.

For more of Barrett’s philosophy on managing these separate but complementary divisions, watch the video above.
