27 Jan Family Owned and Proud of It

Anjer Trailer and Truck Body Sales – the business company name is Anjer Inc. – has been a family-owned business in Bensalem, Pennsylvania for more than 43 years. Chris Manna, Anjer Inc.’s owner, points out that his firm represents some of the biggest names in the transportation business – Strick, Contral, Evans and Morgan — but his company stays in the family.

According to the Conway Center for Family Business, family-owned businesses like Anjer with their dry trailers for sale are economic powerhouses that drive local, national and global economies. Here are some interesting facts they provided.

• Family businesses account for 64 percent of the US gross domestic product, generate 62 percent of the country’s employment, and account for 78 percent of all new job creation.
• Family-owned businesses are the backbone of the American economy. Studies have shown about 35 percent of Fortune 500 companies are family-controlled and represent the full spectrum of American companies from small businesses to major corporations.
• The greatest part of America’s wealth lies with family-owned businesses. Family firms comprise 80 to 90 percent of all business enterprises in North America.
• Small businesses, including many family firms, employ just over half of US workers. In 2011, out of 113.4 million nonfarm private sector workers, small firms with fewer than 500 workers employed 55 million and large firms employed 58.4 million. Firms with fewer than 20 employees employed 20.2 million.
