President & CEO of the Chamber, Mary Beth Sewald, was on deck to thank all who submitted nominations and congratulate everyone for an amazing turnout. She highlighted how meaningful it is to be recognized by one’s peers and the importance of visibility for winning businesses.

The Awards Selection Committee had no easy task narrowing down the winning candidates. Other categories for the Business of the Year Awards included Small Business of the Year, Emerging Business of the Year, Nonprofit of the Year and Woman-Owned Business of the Year.

Spreadshirt Inc. stood out in the Large Business of the Year category due to an ongoing commitment to job growth opportunities and community partnerships.

“Spreadshirt has strengthened the Las Vegas community by creating local jobs, supporting industrial growth and fostering a culture of creativity and collaboration.”

Spreadshirt Inc. North American President Dennis Doerfl was on hand to accept the award, along with Factory Manager Sam McNamara, Production Supervisor Rachel McNamara, Head of Customer Acquisition Rob Hoffman, Business Development Lead Ben Lerman, Onboarding Specialist Michelle Walter and HR Manager Maribel Cabada.

For more than a decade, we’ve called this city home, and every product leaving our factory represents a small piece of its entrepreneurial spirit.

This recognition isn’t the finish line - it’s the fuel to keep creating, growing and giving back to a city that believes in possibility.”
