The second-ever Lloyd All In Award is presented to the VanLiere Family of Industrial Machine & Engineering in Brookings, South Dakota. Since joining Prairie Family Business Association three years ago, the VanLiere Family has gone All In. The family participated in their first family business conference in 2021 and has not looked back — as they have proceeded to further their
commitment to their family business with each passing year. Brian and Andrea founded the business in 1996 and are transitioning ownership and leadership to their sons, Tyler and Zach.
At the end of 2023, the VanLieres hosted a signing ceremony as their second generation signed and formalized ownership documents. They have a strong desire to make the business succeed and thrive in the second generation and beyond. In addition, they serve as champions for family business — recently engaging Brian’s sister and her family business, Hartford Building Center, in PFBA programs.
