Satori
Seal Company was founded in 1971 by Alex Acebo and has been in business
over 32 years. Satori is currently located in Rancho Cucamonga, California
and is now owned by Anne Acebo-Houlihan, one of the few female owners in her
industry. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Anne started out at 18 years old
working for a Swiss fastener manufacturing company and has been in the
industry since. Entering Satori in 1980, Anne took over the marketing and
tripled the company’s sales. After taking over the Presidency of the
company in 1993, she refocused her energy on distribution as well as
manufacturing. Unafraid to change the company’s paradigm and procedures
to meet the customers’ changing needs, her company has more than doubled
in growth under her leadership. She attributes much of this to her
management skills, delegating responsibility to competent staff and
empowering her employees which creates a team environment that promotes
expansion. With Anne’s strong vision, her Vice President, Dale McGrosky,
and Juan Garcia, her Customer Service Manager, together they have built
and expanded Satori Seal into the international company it is today. Their
business approach stresses customer relationships, understanding and
meeting the customers’ needs and always delivering what was promised –
Customers always come first!
