Labrie & Sons, Inc. is still family owned and is still overflowing with the principles that young Joseph set in place so many years ago. This is the story of P.J. Labrie & Sons, Inc. - a century in the making.
The start of a family legacy
Joseph Labrie was born in a small town in Quebec, Canada, where he lived for a time before immigrating to New Hampshire. Labrie eventually settled in Dover, NH, which at that time, was in the middle of an industrial boom of which young Joseph, was certainly a lucky beneficiary. A hard-working man and finding himself in the throes of this massive business expansion, he soon sensed it was the right time to venture out on his own and made the risky decision to open his own plumbing company. Interestingly, when Labrie informed his then boss of his intention to start his own company, he was told not to bother, that he'd never make it. This decision, however, resulted in the inception of Joseph Labrie & Son. A full century later, we celebrate his fledgling start-up and we look back at the accomplishments with pride, we celebrate the team but more importantly, we look forward to a hundred more years serving the community.
family-driven success
If asked, "What do you think is at the heart of the success of this business," the answer would be one word: family. Joseph started the company as a family-owned business, employing his wife Rosanna to do all the billing and eventually bringing his children on to work in various roles as well. That philosophy- staying family-owned and serving the community in which he lived - is still a guidepost for our credo today.
