Like Antioch, the Holes Webway Company grew and prospered through the decades.
Unlike Antioch, the second generation of leadership at Holes Webway failed to
continue the vision of its founder. By the late 1970's, the company's strategy
was adrift and desparately needed a change.
Cheryl Lightle, a longtime Antioch employee, was sent to Minnesota to oversee
the transition. The name was changed to Webway Incorporated. Management
structure was flattened and employees were given freedom to contribute ideas
and participate. Webway, like Antioch, became employee-owned. At Webway,
Antioch found a workforce similar to its own: dedicated, skilled, many with
decades of experience. They returned to what Webway did best: their album lines
were re-engineered, repackaged and marketed to meet the demand for durable,
attractive long-term photo storage.
