Joining the list of legendary Business Excellence Award winners is LINDAR / Avantech / TRI-VEN! They are recognized for their leadership, innovation, employee investment and community service.

The Haglin family dynasty started in 1993 with the origination of LINDAR which is a thermoforming manufacturing business. Tom and Ellen quickly added to their manufacturing trifecta by purchasing Lakeland Mold in 2012 and rebranded it as Avantech. The most recent addition to their team of manufacturing facilities is Tri-ven in 2018, which offers rotational molding for proprietary products through partnerships.

Having a ‘team’ of unified family members and 280 employees that support and value each other has helped catapult these businesses to the forefront of the manufacturing industry in the Brainerd Lakes Area. They have also helped lead the design and manufacturing for some of the top brands in the automotive, recreational, agricultural, and construction equipment industries.
