History

Merchant 1 Marketing was founded on the basis of a modern (internet-based) business model. This model was developed by the current principal of M1M in 1999.  The premise of the model was to develop 'niche' websites that were very specific to products sold and marketed to automotive and industrial markets. Sources of the products came from wholesalers and manufacturers and distribution centers across the U.S.  These suppliers carry the inventory and ship the product upon receipt of an order.  This allows for Merchant 1 Marketing to reduce it's margin due to lower investment and pass that on to our customers. 

Manufacturing Products

The manufacturing portion of our business came from the need to provide a more reliable supply of primarily automotive and industrial paint spray booths.  The manufacturing organization was born out of the necessity to provide our customers and the marketing company with extremely competitive paint booths.  The nature of our booths required the ability to be highly price competitive and to customize booths to fit specific customer needs. Merchant 1 Manufacturing also produces powder coating booths, specialized containment units for the industrial applications (furniture, tools, etc..).
