Mary, the daughter of a GM executive, had factory jobs growing up and was expected to work. Her father started Lucerne in 1993 and Mary went to work there. It was her idea to move manufacturing to China.

“We were barreling along, a million or two a shot [per year],” she said. “Now we’re about $32 million in sales.”

She took over operations in 2006 and bought out her father in 2015. “It’s all mine now,” she said.
