At just over a year old, Sharonville, Ohio-based RelaDyne already has become one of the leading distributors of lubricants, fuels and equipment reliability services to the commercial, industrial and automotive markets in the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions. In an industry shaped by long-term relationships, how is this possible? The answer is simple, President and CEO Larry Stoddard explains. RelaDyne consists of four venerable, family owned distribution businesses that have served their respective markets for decades. They are Oil Distributing Co., Mid-Town Petroleum, The Hurt Co. Inc. and Pumpelly Oil Inc.
When visiting any type of service business, most customers expect quality in every aspect of the experience. At a restaurant, for example, patrons expect the waitstaff to be perfectly attentive, hope the food will delight the taste buds and assume every square inch of the establishment will be clean and sanitary. If any part of the operation seems dirty or unsanitary, it’s most likely that customers will go away with a negative opinion. Kaivac Inc. puts itself in the place of business owners and their employees to help with the clean part of a quality business – whether it is a restaurant or something else – allowing owners to focus on quality elsewhere.
The trend toward “stay-cations” started in the mid-2000s, but stay-at-home vacations really gained in popularity at the end of the decade when the recession slashed budgets every which way and consumers had to cut back on travel. As consumers embraced the thought of spending more quality time at home, outdoor living became a much larger focus, and now decks, porches and backyards are frequently transformed into comfortable living spaces. Since 1953, Homecrest Outdoor Living has been creating luxury products that ensure time spent outdoors is quality time.
When Jimmy Allgood founded Allgood Pest Solutions in Dublin, Ga., in 1974, he built leads by calling everyone he knew in the phone book. While the company has grown to become a multimillion-dollar business serving Atlanta and other large markets in the southeastern United States, Allgood has kept the same basic philosophy toward running the business.
When operating a business, it can be hard to add on new services and move outside your comfort zone. But ABC Home & Commercial Services has managed that difficult feat, President Bobby Jenkins says. “We offer a large variety of [services] and we’ve become excellent in each and every one of them,” he says. Based in Austin, Texas, ABC specializes in home and commercial services, including pest control, lawn and handyman services, and HVAC, electrical and plumbing contracting. ABC started operations in 1949 as a specialist in pest control.
If you ran a help-wanted ad for a retail executive at La Curacao with a financing background and experience with the Hispanic market, you couldn’t do better than have Rick Hutton, president of the retail group, answer it. Hutton was vice president of store operations for Robinsons-May department stores in California and Arizona, and before that spent 15 years in the credit industry and was vice president of risk management for the credit card division of Bank of America.
Those unfamiliar with the everyday specifics of military life assume the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces have no choice but to forgo the American luxuries most take for granted and accept as substitutes meager rations of government-subsidized dehydrated food and generic toiletry items. This is not true.
Approximately 80 percent of people in Canada and the United States participate in at least one outdoor recreation activity each year, according to the Outdoor Foundation, a group focused on encouraging outdoor activities. As a producer of its own camping and hiking equipment, distributor of many outdoor brands and private-label manufacturer for retailers, Infinity Sports Group is likely to play a role in many recreational outings.
