This year, Albuquerque Business First highlighted six of the state's best companies in its 2022 Family Business Awards. Honorees are multi-generational, family-owned businesses in New Mexico who have shown overall excellence, innovation and ethics. 

They say that over time the people you work with start to become family. But for some businesses in New Mexico, their coworkers are, in fact, family.

The Land of Enchantment is home to many a long-running and highly successful family business. Businesses that have been propelled forward, generation after generation, and made a significant impact on the state's economy.
