Carl A. Norgren
Carl A. Norgren was an entrepreneur and the founder of Norgren USA. In 1925, Norgren designed hose coupling for his kitchen, which was the start of his company. Eventually the company became so big that Norgren built a plant in Littleton. Although it was sold in 1973, Norgren USA still stands today as well as the work standards that Norgren put into action. He was one of the first employers to start an employee profit sharing program and create work schedules that were 3-4 day work weeks.
Outside of business, Norgren was heavily involved with the boy scouts. Due to his involvement and dedicaton, he was honored with two awards: the silver beaver and silver antelope. Norgren and his wife retired to Arizona where he passed in 1968.
