Sanford, FL, October 27, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “Many CEOs generate profits and provide great products and services — but some take leadership to an even higher level, earning the respect of their workers, clients and community. This year, Orlando Business Journal is honoring 28 CEOs at the helm of some of Central Florida’s most well-known and emerging firms who have shown their ability to navigate current market conditions successfully and leave a lasting legacy through their community involvement.” - Cindy Barth (Editor with OBJ)

Hernon Manufacturing is proud to have CEO and founder Harry Arnon selected for this honor. Harry has not only guided Hernon Manufacturing to double digit sales growth against a stagnant economy but he has also initiated a $1.4 million dollar expansion to quadruple production and hire more employees. In addition, continuous improvements to production and further expansions overseas are expected to continue driving double digit growth. “We are very pleased to be receiving this award but even more pleased to have the opportunity to continue pushing forward the economic growth of our region and to be able to provide good jobs to the people of Central Florida” commented Harry Arnon. This year's CEO of the year honorees will be recognized on Friday, Nov. 6 at an awards luncheon at the Hilton Orlando.
