Rochester Business Journal Staff//June 27, 2025//
We are pleased to announce the latest installment of our In the Lead recognition program — In the Lead: Best Family-Owned Businesses in Rochester — which recognizes accomplished family-owned companies that demonstrate excellence across a broad spectrum of criteria.
The businesses highlighted in this section are contributing in many ways to the economic success we see in our region. Many of them have been thriving for multiple generations.
The companies you will learn about in this program succeed on some or on many levels — growth in the marketplace; high employee morale; strong community engagement; innovation and product breakthroughs.
This list was compiled by Rochester Business Journal’s editorial leadership team based in part on recommendations from the community as well as our own internal research. To qualify for recognition, a company must be family owned and based in the Rochester area.
Please join us in congratulating the businesses we honor here. We hope you enjoy the profiles of these companies and their unique stories.
If you know of a company you think is a strong candidate for future inclusion on our In the Lead: Best Family-Owned Businesses list, we’d love to hear from you.
You can also email me with feedback and suggestions at [email protected].
