Beating the Odds and Building a 4th Generation Business with Scott Felsenthal

Whitmor started in Brooklyn, New York, in 1946; over 75 years later, it is running strong.

This is a great story that goes deep into this family’s history of:

• Evolving from a manufacturer to an importer when Walmart changed the game, they, like many others, had to stay alive.
• Choosing not to take private equity to preserve their control for future generations of their family
• Building a company that connects the story of what they do to its own people to navigate the great resignation among the workforce
• Strategic acquisitions that continue to position the company in a strong position
• Plus much more!
