Award-Winning Content
This profile earned a Regional BRONZE Azbee Award of Excellence for personal profile writing from The American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE). These highly competitive awards celebrate the highest quality reporting in business-to-business, trade and professional publications.
When Stuart Glauberman took over the family business from his father, who founded Malco Products Inc. with his father and brother in 1953, the sudden handoff was anything but smooth and calculated. So, when Stuart prepared to pass the reigns to his children, he charted a more deliberate course to facilitate a successful transition into the fourth generation—even though the change happened during the midst of the COVID pandemic.
This award-winning cover story for Smart Business examines how Stuart groomed Malco’s future leaders to maintain alignment with his father’s founding values. Featuring interviews with Stuart, who stayed involved as a strategic adviser; his son, Seth, who took over as president; and daughter, Lauren, corporate communications manager; this enterprising profile features perspectives on succession planning from both generations.
