CHATHAM, N.J., Jan. 25, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Garibaldi Group just celebrated its 90th year in business, and they finished their ninth decade with a heartfelt tribute -- not to themselves, but to the community they have served for almost a century.
During this past December, the staff of the venerable, family-run business spent the day volunteering at the Morristown Soup Kitchen, preparing and serving food to over 270 guests. Jim Garibaldi, the CEO of the company, said of the day's experience, "It was fitting that we concluded our 90th year -- and started our tenth decade -- by helping out those who need it most, in the area we've served for all these years. The participation by our team provided us the opportunity to express our gratitude for the opportunities and success we've been fortunate to achieve throughout our long history."
In the past year alone, the respected company, which is a member of CORFAC International, completed over 155 commercial transactions for over 5 million square feet of space. National transactions included representation for clients such as Maersk, Inc., Prudential Insurance, DRS Technologies and Suburban Propane, totaling over 3.5 million square feet. Closer to home, with offices in Chatham, N.J. and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Garibaldi has provided guidance to companies such as Warner Chilcott, DSI, NPS Pharmaceuticals and B&G Foods.
"Our many years of experience and entrepreneurial spirit provide the backbone for our company's versatility, energy and community orientation," Garibaldi continued. "In good market environments and bad, we're nimble enough to weather the inevitable shifts in the market, while continuing to provide sound counsel and execution that achieves our client's ultimate strategies and goals."
