Renfro Foods, along with several other businesses will honor the 2015 Texas Family Business of the Year Award winners and finalists at an awards banquet Nov. 19 at Baylor University’s new Paul L. Foster Campus for Business and Innovation.

The awards program – now in its 26th year – recognizes outstanding firms whose families demonstrate a commitment to each other, to business continuity and to the needs of their employees, community and industry.

“The Institute for Family Business is excited about our 2016 cohort of award winners. They represent a wide range of industries and are based mainly in the Texas Triangle region,” said William Worthington, IFB director. “The IFB is in its 26th year of celebrating family businesses in Texas and these firms have risen above the crowd demonstrating the strength and wonder that merging family with business can create.”
