HISTORY

The original corporation was established in 1946 by Elmer Krumwiede as a manufacturers’ representative organization based in Chicago, IL. Over the first 50 years, Elmer participated in the formation and growth of dozens of companies including the formation of C-Line Products (a plastic converting manufacturer) in 1951. In 1982, Elmer’s grandson, David Krumwiede, joined the company and later purchased the company in 1985.

In 2010, Krumwiede Group sold its remaining interest in the Manufacturer's Rep Group and created the holding company that exists today. The company relocated its Headquarters to the Charlston, SC area later that year and Registered as a proud South Carolina Corporation.

In 2018, two new Directors were added to the company that brought additional experience to the Management team and insured the Corporation would continue into and with a 4th generation of Krumwiede'.
