<\/br>\r\nWith more than 40 years in the floor and wall protection industry, Ron has built Koffler Sales into one of the most recognized independent suppliers in the category. Under his leadership, Koffler Sales has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies seven consecutive years (2012\u20132017), peaking at #1277, and maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.\r\n
<\/br>\r\nRon has been quoted in industry publications including Builder Magazine on slip-and-fall prevention in senior living facilities, and Koffler Sales has been featured in Business Wire for its sustained growth trajectory in the construction-supply category.\r\n\r\nRon's background is distinctive in the industry. He holds a degree in Business Administration with a minor in Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin, and he is also a working visual artist. That dual background informs how Koffler Sales evaluates and curates the products it carries, with an emphasis on materials that perform in real-world commercial environments without sacrificing aesthetics.\r\n
