At a gala event held at the Covington, Kentucky-based Metropolitan Club in late April, the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and NKY Magazine inducted Mazak Chairman Brian Papke into the Northern Kentucky Business Hall of Fame. The award honors men and women who have made a lasting contribution to the community in economic, cultural and civic endeavors.
Papke took the opportunity to thank all those who supported him and Mazak in heartfelt remarks that emphasized the company’s customers and employees’ roles in its success across North America. “Our customers are not just customers, they are friends, and the majority of our employees are homegrown,” he said. “We have all worked together over the years to create wonderful opportunities for families, the local community and all of the areas our customers call home.”
