The Parkland Chamber of Commerce held their Awards Night on Wednesday, honouring several Parkland businesses that make positive change in our community. Several of the businesses honoured have very strong ties to both the Parkland and the people who call it home.
RITZ Machine Works is one of those businesses. Tom Zaporzan, Co-Owner and COO, said being honoured with the Outstanding Business award is a good feeling for the company.
"It's appreciated a lot, it's nice to be apreciated by the community and the chamber, it's a good feeling," said Zaporzan.
RITZ Machine Works has been operating in the Parkland for 27 years, and employs around 50 people. Zaporzan said it's good to be able to give back to the community.
"It's great. For 27, coming on 28 years, I think we've put a lot of money back into the community in wages and stuff like that, and proud to sponsor what we sponsor around town," said Zaporzan.
RITZ Machine Works also operates a new facility in Cambridge, Minnesota, which employs around 50 people in that community as well.
