What is today a multi-million dollar corporation with more than 550 employees began in 1915 with four brothers, a family loan, and a little grocery store in Santa Barbara, California. From the very start, its guiding principle has been that value and service are the cornerstones of a successful business. Peter, John, Dominic, and Frank Jordano—the sons of an Italian rancher—decided to start their own grocery business. At the time, there were already many grocery stores in Santa Barbara, and banks were skeptical about a loan for an additional one. But three uncles came up with $500 in capital. The brothers bought a horse and buggy for deliveries, stocked the shelves on credit, and opened their doors for business. Over the following years Jordano's grew tremendously, opening more stores and giving Santa Barbara its first chain of modern supermarkets. By the early 1970s, there were 18 Jordano's Markets throughout Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties. The company had also developed a healthy distributing business serving hotels and restaurants. A son of each of the four founding brothers joined the family business, including Peter C. Jordano, who leads the company today. In the 1970s, Jordano's went through a dramatic transformation. Seeing the growth of large national grocery store chains, Peter Jordano realized that his company would have to adjust to changing times. Deciding to focus on distributorships, Jordano's sold their grocery stores after more than 60 years in business. It was a difficult transition, but the company soon began a new period of growth. Within a few years, Jordano's had diversified into a food and beverage distribution conglomerate. Annual sales grew to more than $100 million. Between its two divisions, Jordano's Foodservice and Pacific Beverage Company, Jordano's, Inc. posts annual sales of more than $300 million, and employs more than 550 professionals in the foodservice and beverage distribution industries.

In 1997, TriMed®, Inc. was incorporated with the initial goal of developing a unique set of orthopaedic implants designed to treat complex distal radius fractures through ORIF. At the time, these implants out-performed existing methods used for repairing complex wrist fractures and provided one of the first treatment options by ORIF for these complex injuries* – ultimately initiating the movement to optimize recovery of complex distal radius fractures. The success of TriMed’s fragment specific implants was the key component for developing the first complete Wrist Fixation System. More importantly, the advancement in the treatment of complex periarticular fractures became the driving force for the development of TriMed’s unique methods and inventive technologies to successfully treat complex musculoskeletal pathologies of the upper and lower extremities. For the past twenty years, TriMed has worked diligently to foster an inventive culture that aims to provide solutions where traditional methods often fall short. This enthusiasm has been the motivation behind many of TriMed’s innovative technologies, including the Volar Bearing Plate and the Sidewinder Plate. TriMed has also expanded its expertise beyond the periarticular fracture, and currently offers a number of systems that utilize unique methods formulated to optimize patient recovery and increase efficiency in the operation room, including: the Ulnar Osteotomy Compression Plate, Clavicle System, Elbow and Forearm System, Fifth Metatarsal System, and Ankle Fixation System. *R.J.
