Our history begins with the incorporation of Rumage & Brown in 1948 by Ben Rumage & Jim Brown. Rumage & Brown has a proven record of success, always surpassing manufacturer’s goals and customers’ expectations. The company began as a Chicago based manufacturer’s representative organization and has continued to evolve with the industry and expand its’ footprint Nationally. It established a reputation of employing only top-level industry professionals. These professionals hail from key management roles at well-known companies such as: Ace Hardware, True Value Hardware, Orgill, Quill, Masco and Quickie Manufacturing. In 2005, recognizing the ever-evolving needs of the hardware industry, Saleslink was created. The Saleslink infrastructure was developed to provide regional key account management and field sales support leveraging the manufacturer and customer corporate initiatives.
