“P.B.E.’s success can be attributed to the philosophy of providing legendary customer service and inventory that matches the customers’ needs,” said Paul Monroe, President. “P.B.E.’s Customer Service Department sets us apart by putting our time-tested specific product knowledge to work for you and your customers every day. Our experience and industry insight mean quicker turn-around times for a product mix that best serves our customers.”
The motto of “We’ve Got That”, has taken on a whole new emphasis for the employees of PBE Jobbers Warehouse, Inc.
That’s because the employees of P.B.E. are now fully vested in the success of their company, having purchased 100 percent of the stock from company founder Richard Rasmussen in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan stock sale.
The company’s success motto was developed to reflect the employees’ commitment to customer service and the high standards of service sought for every customer interaction. That commitment has now earned those employees a share of the company’s success.
“I believe the major benefit in forming the ESOP was giving the employees the opportunity to have a stake in the company, which they helped build,” said Dave Birk, CEO. “With the formation of the ‘Employee Owned’ PBE, I see our employees taking service to another level, with the pride of ownership.”
The new ownership structure has the company poised for more future growth. The Hartford, CT location is the first step in P.B.E.’s aggressive growth plan. “I believe this will position the company well for expanding our footprint in the collision repair industry,” he said. “Our goal is to find solutions to make business more efficient and to streamline operations. We’ve always striven to provide the best service at the best price and that will continue to be a part of our growth plan.”
The 25,000 square foot facility is located at 445 Ledyard, St, Hartford, CT 06114.
