Challenges and Success Stories of a Third Generation Family Business
Steve Weil, President of Rockmount Ranch Wear Manufacturing Company
6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Steve Weil is the President and CEO of Rockmount Ranch Wear and is a three generation manufacturer of apparel, hats and accessories.  The Rockmount brand is sold by over 1,000 retailers world-wide from saddle shops in New Mexico to boutiques from New York to Tokyo.  Few companies continue for three generations.  This is a company that has reinvented itself, through many challenging times.  It is an apparel company that survived the demise of the U.S. textile industry during the age of cheap imports.  It was a purely wholesale company that added a retail flagship store when independent stores across the country were closing.  Steve will present on what it takes to make a family business succeed throughout the years and across the generations.
