Penna’s Welding honoured with two MJBEX awards

Winning both the Job Creation award and Business of the Year, Penna’s Welding stole the show at last night’s annual MJBEX Awards. 

Travis Penna, current owner of the family business, said he felt privileged to have been included in a list of such impressive nominees gathered. His acceptance speech joked that he was promised he wouldn’t have to speak so much, but the wins did mean a lot to him and his company.

“We're just honored to be recognized in the group of businesses that are in that room tonight,” said Penna. “We're proud to be part of that group and it's an honor to receive the awards.” 

Penna’s Welding began with Penna’s father, John, in the early 80s, and Penna’s Welding has been a member of the Chamber of Commerce for just over a year now. This is their first nomination for the MJBEX Awards, and it went very well for them.

“It's been an awesome experience working with [the Chamber], and Rob and Heather have been great to work with,” said Penna. “They definitely created a lot of opportunities for meeting like-minded people. . .”

Penna feels as though the awards presented to them tonight will be an asset in their continued goal of collecting excellent employees.

“It's not so much about the marketing or advertising — it just helps us to be more recognized in the community and attract a higher caliber of employees,” said Penna.
