Ridgid, a part of Emerson’s professional tools portfolio, celebrated Father’s Day by creating a tribute video recognizing how the work fathers do can inspire their children’s career choices.

“The inspiration behind the video came from Ridgid’s own workforce,” the company explained in a statement. “Currently, 16 Ridgid employees are considered ‘legacies’, meaning they have dads that worked for the company’s manufacturing team before them. These ‘Ridgid Dads’ and now their children build Ridgid tools in Elyria, Ohio, that are used by skilled trade professionals across the country, many by family-owned companies that also include fathers and their children.”
