The history of Herdez is intertwined with our family history from 1960 when my parents arrived in Key West from Cuba, after being married for two weeks. Although my dad did not understand any English, one thing he understood pretty quickly, he needed a job. Three days after being in this country, he got a job at Dynaflex. It was love at first sight! He fell in love with rod making and couldn't learn enough about it. In the meantime, our family kept growing. It was no longer just mom and dad, there were four children, all boys, added to the mix. By 1983 while we were enjoying a family vacation in Key Biscayne, our dad sat us all around the dinner table and presented us with the project of starting Herdez Corp. He wanted us all in the decision making, even me, who was around 12! We all agreed he should go for it and Herdez was launched as a family project. We all pitched in according to our talents. My father, of course, was the motor, but my mother was the paper organizer, me and my brothers learned how to lick labels, and my oldest brother - the most daring one - traveled, promoting and selling our products, at which he was very successful. Thanks to my dad's know how and our strong family support, Herdez now operates from our own building, selling our products worldwide and the 12 year old, that would be me, is now a respectable middle aged man who happens to be the President of the corporation.
