Hopkins, Minn.-based King Technology was honored with a 2019 Minnesota Family Business Award from Twin Cities Business magazine during a ceremony held Nov. 20 at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.
The company was one of five Minnesota-based businesses to receive the honor. According to Twin Cities Business, the annual awards program is a celebration of outstanding family-owned businesses and the value they add to Minnesota’s economy and quality of life.
“We’re very proud of this award,” said Joe King, who co-owns the company with his wife and sons. “During a period where our industry has seen considerable consolidation, we’ve stayed a strong and successful family owned business focused on innovation. We have a stellar team who works together to determine the right mountain to climb and the path to get there.”
King Technology grew out of a small pool construction business founded by Joe’s father, Lloyd King, in 1956. Joe and Mary acquired the company in 1988 and have grown it into becoming a manufacturer of water care solutions for swimming pools and hot tubs.
