Before we begin to celebrate those firms joining the Century Club in 2020, I need to update the list of those who achieved that milestone in 2019. Less than 1/2 of 1% of U.S. companies last 100 years or more - survival over the long term is truly one of the best (if not THE best) success measure for a business. Of these companies, 29 are generational family-owned businesses and three are employee-owned; only two are publicly traded. These companies represent many industry categories and 24 states. (As always, please let me know if I have missed a company that should be on this list.)
