The co-founders of school and office furniture manufacturer OFM Inc. are among the newest ownership partners of the Raleigh, N.C.-based National Hockey League team, the Carolina Hurricanes.
Abel and Barbara Zalcberg began the company in the early 1990s, then also began a private charter business called Fly Private LLC. After beginning the solar power company, ABCZ Solar LLC, last year, the Zalcbergs said ownership in the NHL team seemed like a natural next step.
“Like OFM, the Hurricanes are a start-up that’s done incredibly well in a short period of time,” Abel Zalcberg said. “Since moving to North Carolina in 1997, they’ve become a powerhouse, surprising everyone by winning the 2006 Stanley Cup and becoming the first Tar Heel team to take home a major league championship. We couldn’t be prouder to be part of their team.”
