“We are most happy to announce that The Bahr Company has been selected as the Green River American Hardwood Distributor of the Year for 2009,” declared Stertmeyer. “Jim Duncan, Jack Schroeder and all of the folks at The Bahr Company have proven to be great partners for us in the Chicago market.

“In the midst of the economic downturn the last few years,” continued Stertmeyer, “The Bahr Company has continued to aggressively promote the entire Green River line. The firm has effectively and creatively participated in Green River marketing and merchandising programs resulting in tremendous growth for both our companies in 2009.”

“We are honored by this award,” stated Jim Duncan, co-owner of The Bahr Company. “Green River is a solid company, and since relocating from Massachusetts to its current New York location, now is an even stronger marketing partner.”

Jack Schroeder, also a co-owner of The Bahr Company added, “It is always a pleasure working with Randy Stertmeyer, Scott Burega and Lisa Bray. They know their products, they know their customers… and, they make strong efforts to help us in every possible way.
