Benjamin Volk Award for Excellence Honorees

The Benjamin Volk Award for Excellence was created to honor the founder of the company.  Ben Volk died in 1996.  His vision, inspiration, and “never give up” attitude is still impacting the company today.  This award is given to an associate every year who has lived up to the excellence, passion, and dedication that Ben exuded.   The phrase, “Our customers are our bread and butter,” is still frequently spoken by associates who never even met Ben Volk.   We all wish he was still here to see how his vision became a reality.
