Wilmar Inc. was named a winner of the Family Business Award for companies with fewer than 50 employees at the 2018 Charlotte Family Business Awards. The company, with its headquarters in Charlotte, N.C., said it is the Southeast’s largest independent fleet leasing and fleet management company.
As a firm working to deliver customized fleet solutions that help clients to operate their businesses more efficiently, Wilmar joins a list of family-owned operations in the Charlotte region that uphold excellence, innovation, ethics, philanthropy, and contribution to the strength of the greater region.
“We place special emphasis on going above and beyond with our clients, getting to know what makes their business tick so we can craft a sound fleet solution that is custom tailored to their operation,” said Scott Crawford, President of Wilmar. “We are honored to have received recognition for the dedication and commitment we put into our beautiful community of Charlotte, North Carolina.”
"The Crawfords and Wilmar deserve this recognition for the many years of hard work building a great company that exemplifies American values and the family tradition. Wilmar delivers for their customers and they continue to grow because of it," said Tony Shannon of RiseFuel, its marketing company in Charlotte.
