Built to Last: Parkway Kew & Word Center Printing

Parkway Kew  

This New Jersey manufacturing business has been in operation since 1953, quickly becoming a leader in the hard surfacing space. In 1993 they moved to North Brunswick, New Jersey and expanded the business to serve wire mills, shipping terminals, and the oil & gas industry. Parkway Kew is constantly looking to expand its capabilities thanks to leadership’s willingness to improve.  

“We are and have to be the leader,” explained Eugene Klein Sr., President, while discussing his businesses track record for innovative thinking and new capital investments. This unwavering need to push the boundaries and expand its capabilities allows Parkway Kew to maintain a reputation for quality and reliability.  

Rejecting progress is easy but is often a recipe for disaster. Businesses that do not adapt and grow are prone to failure. Parkway Kew is a shining example of how a manufacturing organization can thrive and remain an industry leader when innovation and continuous improvement are built into a business strategy. Not only is Parkway Kew actively working on expanding their capabilities and expertise, but they also rely on a family-oriented culture to encourage and engage their workforce.

Some manufacturers are shining examples of how remaining agile and innovative can help them thrive in uncertain environments.
