Anyone who lives in Lorain County by now knows the name of Alan Spitzer. Those who live in other Counties and states know his name as well.
Spitzer, who is chairman and CEO of Spitzer Management, has been at the forefront of positive change in Northeast Ohio. Today he manages a business that employs well over 1,000 people and has estimated sales in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Yet it is still very much a family-operated business. One of the larger operating divisions of Spitzer Management is Spitzer Autoworld, which has become a mega-automotive retail company that operates more than 30 franchises at over 20 locations in three states. There are plans to expand to other states and there are also major renovations planned for Northeast Ohio.
Clearly, time is not standing still for Spitzer. The company has grown well beyond it's bounds as a local automobile dealership. But Alan Spitzer has never lost sight of his company's beginnings, or the fact that people must always come first - no matter how large you become.
"My grandfather George G. Spitzer started the company back in 1904" says Spitzer. "We have been in business more than 95 years, but it actually started as a hardware store. It was my father, John A. Spitzer, who made the company what it is today." |
