Honoree: Tiedemann-Bevs Industries; Robert Galletly, president; Peter Galletly, executive vice president, treasurer and secretary

In 2008, Theo. Tiedemann & Sons merged with Bev’s Threads and moved its headquarters to a new facility on Industries Road in Richmond. The company provides a variety of textile products, casket enhancements and sewing room supplies for its customers.

“Over the past five years, the Galletly family has shown commitment to Richmond and Wayne County by consolidating their business interests here from other locations, making significant capital investments here and providing quality employment to local residents,” Holthouse said.

“None of the recent history could ever have been possible without the caring and connected town of Richmond with its deep traditions of quality in the casket industry and our incredible associates,” Peter Galletly said.
