In honor of Father’s Day, we’re spotlighting a Father-Son duo who built a family business dedicated to improving lives with one simple, essential resource: ice and water dispensers.
Family businesses like theirs play a major role in shaping America, representing nearly 60% of the economy’s GDP and 63% of its workforce. Beyond their economic contributions, family businesses are often built on values like hard work, service, and care for both people and the planet.
The Father-Son Duo Behind the Ice and Water Dispensers
Meet Barry Snyder. After learning the ins and outs of entrepreneurship in his family’s business, Barry decided to launch his own company in 2014: Optimum Water Solutions. His mission was clear, to promote healthier living through cleaner, better water.
With a passion for customer service and a commitment to providing reliable ice and water dispensers, Barry set out to make a difference. In 2017, his son Zachary officially joined the company, bringing a new generation’s energy to the same shared vision. Together, they’ve built not just a business, but a legacy rooted in family values and customer care.
The Secret to Success: Family, Hard Work, and Ice and Water Dispensers
What do all successful family businesses have in common? Shared goals, teamwork, and dedication. While many focus solely on profit, Barry and Zach have built a business with a greater purpose: providing ice and water dispensers that help businesses stay hydrated, reduce plastic waste, and enjoy cleaner, healthier water every day.
Their motto says it best: “Big enough to get the job done, small enough to care.” Every customer matters. Every interaction reflects their family’s values.
How Families and Communities Thrive Together
Some of America’s biggest brands, like Walmart, Chick-fil-A, Ford, Dell, and Estée Lauder, started as family businesses. And while those names may be national icons, it’s family businesses of all sizes that strengthen local communities.
Optimum Water Solutions brings that same spirit of innovation and service to workplaces every day with their advanced ice and water dispensers, helping companies provide safe, eco-friendly hydration for employees and guests.
Ice and Water Dispensers That Make a Difference
Clean water is essential, but pure water is transformational. Barry and Zachary know that, which is why they’ve dedicated their work to providing ice and water dispensers that eliminate harmful toxins and impurities from every sip. Their bottleless, energy-efficient systems don’t just save space, they help protect the planet by reducing plastic waste.
Plus, with professional installation, routine maintenance, and exceptional customer care, Optimum Water Solutions ensures your team has refreshing, clean water, glass after glass, day after day. Clearly. Pure. Water. And a family business you can feel good about supporting.
