Early
this summer, 2016, National Wiper Alliance President Jeff Slosman accepted the
fourth award within a year on the behalf of his company. Presented by the Wake
Forest Center for Private Business at the Annual Family Business of the Year
awards, Slosman representing his National Wiper Alliance team was presented
with the NC Family Business of the Year award in the large business category.
“Recognition
as the Family Business of the Year affirms our commitment to the family values
that have been a part of the foundation of the business from the beginning”, Slosman
responded when asked about receiving the award. The award acknowledges
family-owned companies, their accomplishments and their commitment to
community. In addition to judging company’s success, it also takes into account
their innovative strategies along with practices instrumental in their growth
and development. This award comes following National Wiper Alliance’s most
recent achievement of being recognized as Business NC Magazine’s Small Business
of the Year, December, 2015. Also in
2015, Slosman accepted an invitation to visit the White House resulting from
his commendation as SBA’s NC Small Business Person of the Year. National Wiper Alliance also received
honorable mention as NC Chamber of Commerce Manufacturer of the Year in 2015.
National
Wiper Alliance began in 1996 with Jeff, his wife, and grandfather filling
orders out of a borrowed warehouse of 2,000 square feet. Twenty years later,
National Wiper Alliance operates out of a half-million square foot complex with
more than 100 employees. Scott Daugherty, director of the NC Small Business and
Technology Development Center praised National Wiper Alliance at the SBA event
saying, “This is not rocket ships, there’s no glitz or glamour, but they’ve
built one heck of a successful growth business.”
The
Family Business of the Year award was given by the Wake Forest Center for
Private Business, an organization that was established in 1999 by Dr. Stan
Mandel and headquartered in Wake Forest, NC. Their mission statement reads,
“The Center for Private Business enables privately owned businesses to achieve
dreams for their business, family, employees, community and stakeholders by
providing access to industry leaders, resources, networks and education.” WFCPB
was recently able to expand and increase its staff and resources to better
enable them to aid in the growth of the businesses associated with them.
