Anthony Gemma was selected from over 100 applicants for his knowledge, compassion, and ability to motivate others. Anthony strongly believes in employee empowerment and attributes that to the primary reason for the phenomenal growth of his family owned business. “Over the past five years, Gem Plumbing has grown three fold”, said Anthony Gemma, President of Gem Plumbing & Heating. “It wasn’t very long ago that we had 40 employees and our sales were around $ 7 million a year. Today, we employ over 320 employees and our sales exceeded $ 33 million. That is something that can only be done by empowering your employees. If it weren’t for each and every one of them, we would not be where we are today.
