LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 11, 2017 (Business Wire) – Payment Alliance International (PAI), the nation’s largest privately-held ATM provider, today announced it has been named 2017 Business of the Year by Louisville Business First. PAI was honored for demonstrating business excellence, market leadership, and community involvement during a gala dinner and awards program held at the Seelbach Hilton Hotel the evening of Dec. 5. PAI co-founders John J. Leehy, III and Gregory W. Sahrmann accepted the award on behalf of PAI in the very large company category.
“Throughout the years, PAI has been blessed with a talented team of committed employees and some of the most loyal customers found anywhere,” said Leehy. “It is their hard work and dedication which serves as the real foundation for PAI’s impressive run of growth and success,” added Leehy.
The Business of the Year awards and gala help celebrate the accomplishments of companies who make Greater Louisville an exciting place to do business. Business First honors finalists and winners in six categories – very large company, large company, medium company, small company, emerging company and nonprofit, plus an individual for leadership excellence. Readers nominate dozens of companies, with Business First’s editors narrowing the list to three worthy finalists per category. Ultimately, an independent, outside panel of judges determined Business of the Year winners for each category.
