Company history
Russ started his company in 2002 with nothing but ambition and a few thousand dollars in savings.  He was blessed to find several products to represent that year.

The company continued to grow and in 2004, Russ realized he should persue the business further. The company has continued to grow to the point of year ending 2006 saw over $2.5 Million in sales. 
Terry started his company with resources and slowly built his business to the point today he is very sucessfull with numerous products.  Russ & Terry formed the Marketing Partnership of Geiger - Ripley Marketing in 2004 and continue to persue opportuniies together in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois
Product Focus
The products that we represent are typically unique in some way.  We don't think Professional Manufactures Agents will survive selling commodity products in the present business world.  The global economy, internet and all other fast technology allows customers to access commodities easily without the agents involvement.  But, people still like to buy from poeple when it comes to Value added and highly technical products.
