lunga tradizione familiare

Non-PRO Italian to English Marketing General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters companies brochures
L’azienda CUCCHI ha alle spalle una lunga tradizione familiare, che risale agli inizi del secolo scorso. Le sue radici affondano infatti nell’esperienza degli avi, che furono tra i primi trebbiatori e motoaratori della zona, i quali costruivano con grande passione macchine per la loro attività di
contoterzi adatte alle esigenze dei clienti.

I am not sure if my interpretation is correct, does it mean that the company has a long history in family business?? a family tradition does not seem to be accurate, am I correct??
Thanks in advance

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): writeaway, Michele Fauble, Rachel Fell

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

The origins of the company hail back to the experience of their ancestors, who were amongst the first threshers and motor plough operators in the area. They had a huge passion for constructing machinery that could be outsourced to other farmers, and ensured that their equipment met the needs of their clients. In 1964, the sons launched the CUCCHI Mechanical Workshop, through which they began constructing and selling farm machinery for tilling soil, especially mechanical hoes and ditchers. Alongside this, in 1970, they began manufacturing machinery for inter-row tilling of vineyards and orchards, which was an immediate hit amongst their clients, due to their simplicity, robustness, and endurance. Even today, their product range focuses on mechanical weeding equipment for organic farming.

Reference:

Trasmettere conoscenza

Tradizione (come tradition) ha diversi significati, successivi, stratificati, derivati. Non significa semplicemente "cose vecchie" opposte alla modernità.
Tra l'altro deriva dal Latino Traditio (e da tradere, il verbo che significa proprio trasmettere, trasporre; e poi, ridete pure, anche tradire / betray > treason) che è la trasposizione di conoscenza.
Funziona anche in inglese.

Fonetica, just to help you dissolve your doubts, read definition n. 2 from Merriam Webster on line (v. link).

Buon lavoro. Maurizio
