Manitoba Corporation was presented a Galanis Award for Excellence in Family Business. Manitoba was one of five recipients of this year’s award. The award selection is based on financial stability, innovation, quality of life for employees, record of growth and contributions to the community. Manitoba Corporation was recommended by their longtime friend and partner in a joint venture, Peter Lidner. “If there is one word that characterizes or distinguishes them (Manitoba) from its competition, it would be “creative”: In an industry filled with mature competition, Manitoba has grown by expanding business lines, markets and geographic penetration, as well as utilizing and embracing modern operating standards….Furthermore, they embody excellence through: loyalty to customers and employees alike, activism within the local community, and their core family values as embodied in their 4th generation enterprise”, says Linder.
The Galanis awards were first started back in 2000 by Terry Galanis Sr. and Terry Galanis Jr. in conjunction with Alfred University. The awards were set up as a way to recognize the importance of family businesses in this region. Having operated their own company Sealing Devices, Inc. for almost 5 decades they realize the importance of recognizing others with similar stories.
