Natale Caputo Receives Prestigious Award Natale Caputo, President of Wiscon Corporation, was awarded a David Award at the 17th annual awards event, held on November 26, 2005. The event was sponsored by the Italo American National Union Foundation, Midwest District of the Italian Sons & Daughters of America. The David Award honors young Italian-Americans who show outstanding professional achievement and a promise for greater things to come. By accepting this award, Caputo is welcomed into the prestigious David Society, an elite group of young people of Italian heritage who show professional promise in their respective fields. “These young people represent Italian Americans in a positive light by bringing goodness to our heritage,” said Ronald Onesti, awards chairman of IANU Foundation. “Nat Caputo has been involved in the Italian community for a long time. We have kept an eye on him. He started at the bottom wrapping cheese and he has worked hard to earn the keys to the family business.” Wiscon Corporation, founded in 1978 by Rene and Pasquale Caputo, is now run by their son Natale. Today, the company has over 100 employees with offices across the country. Nat has grown the business to earn $40 million in annual sales. “I would like to thank my management team and my employees,” said Caputo upon accepting the David Award. “Their enthusiasm and dedication is what helps make Wiscon and Caputo Cheese a great success. I would like to dedicate this award to my parents for their hard work and taking the necessary risks to make this company a golden opportunity.”
