The Mheda Journal

A feature in the October 2010 issue of The MHEDA Journal will focus on MHEDA member companies who are celebrating a milestone anniversary this year. We define a milestone as every 5th year, i.e. companies celebrating 5, 10, 15,… years in business. I’m looking forward to next week learning more about Cross Bros. Co., a 165-year-old distributor in Rochester, NY, that is the subject of this issue’s member profile. In the meantime, I’m collecting photos of other companies celebrating anniversaries this year. How does your company look different now than it did at its inception? How are you commemorating the occasion this year? We want to give you some publicity about your achievement. E-mail me at editor@themhedajournal.org to submit your anniversary photos.

One distributor celebrating its 60th anniversary is Rick Power at Power Machinery Center in Oxnard, CA. Check out the magazine for photos of the company’s original building in 1950. The company was founded by Rick’s father Bob, who at the time of his death in 2007 at 91 years young, still kept an office at the company. What a story! To get a similar story told about your anniversary company, submit your photos by August 20.
