THE Connell COMPANY
The Connell Company, founded in 1926, has developed into one of the largest diversified privately held corporations in the United States. In the company’s three quarters of a century existence there have been four generations of the Connell family directing the business, with three generations currently active.
Reflecting its beginnings as a rice trading business, the company was originally organized as Connell Rice Co. The name was later changed to Connell Rice & Sugar Co., Inc., and as a result of its successful diversification into the activities described on the following pages, Connell Rice & Sugar Co., Inc. was renamed The Connell Company in 1990.
The company is proud of its continuing innovation and growth, while maintaining its small business flexibility and responsiveness. As a privately held company, Connell is not burdened with the concerns of quarterly or annual reported earnings. This, along with the fact that the company has a large capital base with minimum debt levels, allows it to freely target long range goals, accumulate assets and establish lasting relationships. With a highly motivated, creative and professional work force, along with a strong financial foundation, The Connell Company continues to look for new opportunities while focusing on the growth of the core businesses.
