Maury Saucedo , from the The Saucedo Company, an El Paso – based Security Lock Distributor and Locksmith, and current Co-Chair of the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Empire Builders Program, was quoted in the El Paso Times on Monday, July 15, 2013. Here is the excerpt:
Merging new, old
Many young entrepreneurs attempt to change or improve an existing family business, which often creates generational divides.
“The definition of success has changed,” said Maury Saucedo, 25, the operations manager for The Saucedo Company. “My dad is more stable, so for him, we are already successful. But for me, I don’t think we are as successful as we can be yet. I want to see multiple locations in different cities. I want to see more growth.”
The Saucedo Company, an El Paso locksmith company started by J. Silvaño Saucedo in 1917, is a four-generation family business.
“My main goal is sustainable and smart growth,” Maury Saucedo said. “What can we do that will make us bigger but at the same time sustain itself? The struggle is that I want to continue in that upward direction; where my dad sees it as we don’t need to go higher, we are great where we are.”
Maury Saucedo and brother David Saucedo Jr., 28, are the fourth-generation owners now.
“My dad still plays a huge role in what we do,” said Maury Saucedo, who joined the company two years ago. “He is our mentor now. He steers us in the right direction. He has 40 years of experience, so he has been in the business all his life and he has another 30 years to give us.”
