Our Work
Helping to tell the story of the Austin family and its related entities
Austin Industries
Ken and Joan Austin founded A-dec in Newberg, Oregon in 1964. Today, that company is a global leader in dental chairs and equipment, and the Austins have used the company’s success to help transform the region.
We work with Austin Industries, the holding company of the Austin family’s entities, including real estate, A-dec and the newly formed Austin Family Foundation. Our work focuses on telling the story of the family’s incredible and ongoing legacy in the community.
