Two Grand Valley companies are among the latest winners of a statewide awards program honoring fast-growing firms for their innovative products, unique processes and marketplace performance.

Låda Cube in Grand Junction and Sauvage Spectrum Estate Winery & Vineyard in Palisade were winners of the 2023 Colorado Companies to Watch program.

JFS and Lyttle’s Fleet Maintenance in Grand Junction were finalists.

The winners were honored at a June 16 awards gala.

The Colorado Companies to Watch program honors privately held second-stage companies headquartered in Colorado with between $750,000 and $50 million in annual revenue and six to 99 employees.

Låda Cube designs and manufactures moveable and reusable modular wall systems.

John Fay launched the company in 2013 to provide self-contained and self-standing modular wall systems for office, retail, residential and other uses. He relocated the headquarters from California to Grand Junction, returning to the place where he grew up.

In addition to its offices and manufacturing facility in Grand Junction, Låda Cube also operates facilities in Mexico and South Africa.

Låda Cube wall systems offer speed of installation and reusability. Walmart has become one of the company’s biggest customers in using the wall systems for vision and health care centers at its stores.

Fay envisions other uses for the systems, including housing and data centers.

Kaibab Sauvage and Patric Matysiewski started Spectrum Sauvage in 2019, combining their respective experiences and skills as grape growers and winemakers.

They make a variety of wines, including popular sparkling wines bottled under Sparklet labels. They also bottle sparkling wines under Pet-Nat labels, short for the French term petillant natural describing a process in which the wine is bottled with the right amount of sugar for fermentation to continue and produced natural carbonation.

The Colorado Association for Viticulture and Enology and Manufacturer’s Edge both presented Sauvage Spectrum with winery of the year awards.
