Meet Our 2013 Family Business Award Winners
The influence of certain families is omnipresent throughout the American economy. Just think of household names like Ford, Levi Strauss and Heinz, and the goods associated with those names (automobiles, blue jeans and ketchup, respectively).
While there are nationally recognized family names in business, in many cases, family businesses may only be household names within the regions they serve and in which they live.
And in some cases, there are families who launch businesses that don't bear the family name. But the names they have carved out for their ventures become prominent in their communities.
Perhaps it's coincidental, then, that the six recipients of this year's Central Massachusetts Family Business Awards are evenly split when it comes to bearing the family crest or some other name that may be more recognizable.
No matter the name, the common thread these families share is the pride they possess in their work, as well as a willingness to change with the times. Over the next several pages, read about the values the founders of these businesses embraced and how they passed on those values to their descendants.
It is with pleasure that we present their stories:
