3 Generations of Proven Marketing Experience

FOUNDING FAMILY

Few e-Commerce experts can claim more than 75 years of knowledge and continuity. Even fewer can boast that one of their original founders is still an integral part of their business. And almost no other e-tail or e-commerce partners can boast three generations of expertise, as ORVA is now led by CEO Abe Shalom, great-nephew of one of ORVA’s original founders.
