Rogar International Receives Business Award

Rogar International Corporation has received the Chesterfield County 2001 Small Business of the Year award.

Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors established a Business Appreciation and Recognition Award to recognize existing businesses within the county that contribute to the county’s economy and its citizens. One such company is Rogar International Corporation.

Rogar International Corporation is located at 12738 Oak Lake Court in the Oak Lake Business Center. Robert Crist founded the company in 1975. The company’s mission has remained the same over the past twenty-five years, to design, manufacture and market top-quality consumer products. The company began producing a line of unique wine openers and added a full line of pot racks a few years later.

The company most recently has built 66,000 square feet of office, warehouse and factory space on 6 acres of land in Chesterfield County, with another 20,000 square feet to be built in the near future. Rogar has created 40-50 jobs to the county with the recent move to the facility on Oak Lake Court.

Congratulations to Robert and Carol Crist and all the Rogar employees!
