Facilitated Generational Transition

We promoted third generation members to CEO and COO roles

Shared Value Creation

We created an innovative incentive plan to provide third generation family members with equity upside

Continuous Reinvestment

We committed to support the third generation’s ambitious growth plans, including continuous reinvestment to expand the company’s service area

Does it always feel this natural?
