“The CE News award is special because it recognizes our efforts to reward and retain our employees,” says Sergio “Satch” Pecori, Hanson’s president and CEO. And for our employees, this award is no surprise. Here’s what they have to say.

“Our founder, Walter Hanson, understood that creating a workplace environment with both challenges and rewards attracts the type of employee that has made our company one of the best, and that tradition has been followed by Hanson’s leadership ever since.”
