1988
In 1988, William’s son, Mark’s brother, Gregg was brought into the business. Gregg’s experience in dealing with customers and suppliers in previous business environments were seen as a valuable asset as William Bareman approached retirement.
In time, Gregg would become a partner and Bareman & Associates, Inc. became a partnership between a father and two sons.
Bareman & Associates, Inc. continued to expand driven by a growth in western and northern Michigan; churches and schools continued to spring up and add on. Most required gymnasium equipment, coiling doors, folding partitions, or all three.
