It all began
with what many thought was a wild venture, at a time when an entire
industry was yet to be born. The Company was founded by Elmer "EA"
Hamburg on borrowed funds and started operations in the most modest
of quarters.
In 1953, EA turned the company over to his son Lester. Under Lester's
direction, the business increased greatly. With distributing lines
such as RCA, Sony, Pioneer, Whirlpool, Armstrong Flooring, Hamburg
Brothers emerged as a unique two-step distributor with actual road
sales people who sell name-brand merchandise through the retail dealer
network.
Although Lester passed away in 1988, the company has continued to
thrive. The owners, Dennis Holzer and Rick Weaver, who worked for
Lester, share his philosophy of selling only name-brand products to
dealers through road salesmen, who visit dealers on a daily basis.
Today, Hamburg Brothers covers Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia
and Western New York territories. All products are shipped from our
Butler, Pennsylvania warehouse, and our corporate office remains in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Whether it is 1920 or the present, Hamburg Brothers' objective remains
the same, "Striving To Be Your Partner." We believe that
both Hamburg Brothers and our dealers form a proven sales and service
team with the ability and commitment to succeed for the lines that
we represent. |
