What has happened over the past 100 years to make Betts not only a family business but a business that has brought people together like a family? Through this publication in recognition of our 100th Anniversary, we hope to share the answer to this question with our fellow employees, business associates and the general public. We will also take a look at Betts Industries today and the Betts Industries of tomorrow.
