Worcester manufacturer Wirefab, Inc. was founded in 1955 by Asbed “Ozzie” Zakarian. Among the many applications for its products, Wirefab produces wire baskets to hold donuts at various Dunkin locations. At one time, the company also made a wire holder (pictured) for multi-national ice cream shop franchise Baskin-Robbins, which used them to display a specific tasty treat.
