THE MBA CORP COMPANY PROFILE

History: We have been around for over 60 years (founded in 1963).  The territory we cover is the state of Wisconsin and Upper Peninsula of Michigan. MBA was founded by three people (Jim Miner, Tom Boehnlein, & Bob Ackerman) using the initials of their last names for the name of the company.

Personnel: John Ackerman, Mark Krumnow, Phil Hrenak, Kevin Hansen, Tim Revell, Patti Race and Renee Tezak. All the guys work with our distribution channel as one of their main functions, while in addition we call on Engineers, contractors, mechanicals, builders, and end-users. This pull through approach has been welcomed with open arms with all of our manufacturers as well as our distributors. With this down economy, all of us have increased our travel time to contractors and end-users for both residential and commercial applications. Patti and Renee anchor our inside sales and technical support. They are considered by many of our distributors to be two of the top inside sales support personnel that they work with.
