Commitment to sustainable business practices

A privately-held company, Preferred applies a ‘family-owned’ philosophy to every aspect of our business. Just like a large family, our responsibilities are to the people that make us who we are, the communities in which we live and work, and to the environment we all share. We have high expectations of the Preferred family, and we work hard to remain steadfast to our responsibilities: not only for today’s world, but for tomorrow’s.
