BMI Supply, in its 32nd year of operation, is pleased to announce an ownership transition. Cindy Barber, President and owner since 2010, has sold the company to longtime employees Steve Roudebush and Matt Williams. The sale was effective August 31st.
Cindy led a dedicated team of employees to many years of steady growth. "I have enjoyed my years at BMI Supply, in a variety of roles from IT support to President," commented Cindy. "Steve and Matt have been an integral part of our success and are more than capable of taking the helm."
Steve and Matt are both in their 20th year with the company, having started in the BMI Supply sales department during the summer of 1999 under the guidance of BMI Supply’s late founder Robert Barber. Matt has an undergraduate degree from SUNY Fredonia and an MFA from the University of Arizona. "Steve and I complement each other well and will make an effective team" said Matt. "We are thrilled to move BMI forward into a new era that builds upon our strong traditions.”
Steve holds an undergraduate degree from Cornell University and an MBA from the University at Albany. "We have always prided ourselves on ultimate customer service, broad product offerings, and bringing our collective years of hands-on experience to the table to benefit our customers. These will continue to be our priorities."
In their new capacities, Matt will serve as President, heading up day-to-day operations at BMI's primary location in Queensbury, NY. Steve will serve as CEO, handling overall corporate matters, finances, and marketing. Cindy will remain at the company in an advisory capacity for a number of months.
