Uniweb’s Retro-Fit Team

Uniweb manufactures several products that will give a store a face-lift while increasing product facings, all using the same footprint and existing fix-

tures Most importantly, Uniweb panels will never rip or tear

Variety Panels contain zero upright i n t e r r u p t i o n s ; h o o k s c a n b e p l a c e d over two panel seams.

Allied Panels feature a short insert hook welded directly onto the panel, eliminating the need for insert brackets. Panels easily lock onto existing uprights, creating a clean and flush a p p e a r a n c e .

Stevia When my father, James May, first introduced stevia to the U S market 40 years ago, he fought an uphill battle Simply put, large artificial sweetener companies did not want him to succeed Stevia was a plant from South America and naturally 30 times sweeter than sugar without calories To the growing artificial sweetener industry of the 1980s, stevia was “enemy No. 1.” Nevertheless, my father persevered amidst challenges t o u l t i m a t e l y s u c c e e d i n establishing a vibrant natur a l s w e e t e n e r i n d u s t r y . What constantly propelled h i m w a s h i s c r y s t a l - c l e a r vision of what a future without sugar or artificial sweeteners would look like. I now find myself tasked with the challenge and opportunity to build upon that vision and move my father’s company – my family’s company – into the future.

E v o l v i n g y o u r l o n g t i m e f a m i l y business into the future presents many challenges and opportunities. In the last years of my father’s life, we often discussed how to move the company forward, how to evolve it, and at the same time stay true to the legacy he built He was very clear that the vision that would guide me – and our company – into the future had to be my own

I d e c i d e d m y p r i m a r y t a s k w a s t o ensure the founding principles and values of the company remained while we embraced new science and technologies, confronted a changing competitive landscape, explored new markets and channels and provided new wellness options for our consumers

S e c o n d - g e n e r a t i o n f a m i l y - r u n businesses work best if the original passion and continuing vision remain Founders often identify very strongly with their businesses This can lead to o v e r c o n f i d e n c e b o r d e r i n g o n a r r ogance that makes it difficult to notice changes in the competitive landscape, or even to hold onto favorite products that have long since lost their competitive edge. In our company, past innovations gave us our preeminent market

tion into their markets because of our position as the top natural sweetener brand in the natural channel We have learned, however, that focusing on a few markets proactively with the right planning, preparation and investment brings greater success than being reactive and just taking whatever opportunity comes our way Maximum weight of effort on a few goals will be more impactful than trying to accomplish e v e r y t h i n g t h a t i s b e f o r e y o u Sometimes those few goals demand-

ing a weight of effort now are the proverbial “low-hanging fruit” that will serve to prepare your company for something greater It is said that innovation is the lifeblood for all business, but the key for family business is to stay true to the founding principles and values your original consumers and partners latched onto, even as you update the founding vision for the future
