  Euro-American Worldwide Logistics named Mass. Family Owned Business of the Year

  BOSTON – The Small Business Administration (SBA) has named Euro-American Worldwide Logistics of Worcester the 2022 Jeffrey Butland Family Owned Business of the Year for Massachusetts.

  Euro-American Worldwide Logistics is a life science logistics center, providing FDA-regulated storage, U.S. trade compliance and international shipping services to pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device and bio-manufacturing industries.

  

  “The family owned category highlights a small business with a 15-year track record that has been passed from at least one generation to another,” said District Director Robert Nelson.  “Eric Busenburg stepped up to the challenge when it was his turn to carry the torch by taking initiative to lead and seek out resources to grow the business.“

  Since its founding in 1966, Euro-American Worldwide Logistics has since grown into a 20-person operation spanning two offices in Worcester and Boston.  The company remains family owned and operated and is now in its third generation of leadership spanning five decades.  Eric Busenburg took over as President of the company in 2018.

  “Our generational success owes a debt of gratitude to the mutual support systems in place in Massachusetts. The SBA’s dependable assistance has helped Euro-American scale its services supporting the life science companies in the state. It’s a testament to the collaborative ecosystem which exists in the Commonwealth,” said Eric Busenburg, President of Euro-American Worldwide Logistics.

  Through the years, Euro-American has continued receiving ongoing assistance from Julia Dvorko from the Massachusetts Export Center, aiding with regulatory compliance for both Euro-American and its’ clients.  In 2019, Eric Busenburg completed the SBA’s Emerging Leaders program as part of a Worcester cohort. 

  Eric is deeply involved as an executive leader in the Worcester region, contributing his time and resources to charitable causes, including Why Me & Sherry’s House fundraisers, E-for-All as a Mentor and Advisory Board Member, Worcester Chamber of Commerce as an Executive Board Member, and Worcester Business Development Corporation as a Board Member.

  The company was nominated by Alison Berglund, SBA Emerging Leaders Instructor.
