BOSTON- Kaplan Construction has been named to the annual list of the Largest Family-Owned Businesses in Massachusetts published by the Boston Business Journal (BBJ).
The list includes Massachusetts-headquartered companies that are owned, 51 percent or more, by two or more family members or married partners. This is the fourth time Kaplan has been ranked on this list.
Founded in 1976, Kaplan Construction’s experienced staff have worked together for decades, building a strong portfolio of renovation and new construction projects for commercial, healthcare, multi-family, and worship clients. In 2014, Kaplan completed a three-year management transition during which Jane Kaplan Peck became chief operating officer (COO) and majority owner, and Nathan Peck assumed the role of president – positions they continue to hold today.
“Nearly five decades after our founding, we’re proud to remain a family-run business rooted in trust, stability, and longevity,” said Jane Kaplan Peck, COO and co-owner of Kaplan Construction. “Family ownership is our greatest asset, and we’re honored to be recognized by the BBJ for it.”
Kaplan has been recognized by the Family Business Association and the Northeastern University Center for Family Business for its success in family business leadership, multi-generational involvement, and contributions to the community and industry. The firm has also been named to the BBJ’s list of the 25 Largest Women-Owned Businesses in Massachusetts six times and has appeared on The Commonwealth Institute’s list of Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts eight times.
