LVB In the Lead 2025 : Legacy Businesses
Rebekah McClelland//April 21, 2025//
The challenges facing those who own businesses are many and varied.
Even for such companies that have been around for a long time, there are new obstacles such as modernizing, rising salaries, shrinking workforce, supply issues, and increased competition from other businesses, both local and national.
And yet, so many make it work and not only survive, but thrive. Credit their energy, talent, intelligence and perseverance – the qualities shared by most successful business leaders.
With this issue, LVB recognizes and celebrates those who demonstrate those qualities and put them to use in maintaining prosperous companies. The businesses profiled in these pages hail from a wide variety of industries. The story of successful legacy businesses is the story of economic growth in the Greater Lehigh Valley region.
So please join us in congratulating the businesses we honor here. Some started from scratch and built thriving companies; others took over growing companies and made them better. All of them possess the drive and ability to succeed in a world still structured to hold them back. As you read the profiles, reflect on that fact and what it took to earn a place on this list.
All our honorees are listed in alphabetical order in the sections below. Enjoy!
