OLD FORGE, Penn. (June 20, 2017)—Rich Golden, CEO of Golden Technologies, was recently honored by Junior Achievement of Northeastern Pennsylvania with the Entrepreneur of the Year Award at the annual Business Hall of Fame Dinner & Awards Ceremony.
From starting in a one-car garage, to becoming the largest facility in the world solely dedicated to the manufacture of lift chairs, the history of Golden Technologies is a story that defines the American dream. Rich has been in the business of manufacturing his entire adult life. In 1985, Rich, along with his father and a family friend, saw an opportunity to provide the home health care industry with quality, handcrafted lift chairs. Rich’s vision of Golden as a complete mobility solution provider became a reality in 1996 when he added power scooters and power wheelchairs to the lineup.
“I attribute the tremendous growth and success of Golden Technologies to the continued hard work and determination of our employees, many of whom have been with us for a very long time,” said Rich Golden, CEO. “We’re just in a bigger garage.” The future is bright and with Rich’s vision and entrepreneurial spirit, it will become even brighter.
