The October 12, 2006, Ohio NAMA meeting was held at Unverferth Manufacturing in Kalida, Ohio. Unverferth is a family owned northwest Ohio short-line company which has grown into a world-class manufacturer and marketer of a diverse range of agricultural equipment.

Unverferth has three manufacturing facilities: Delphos, OH, Kalida, OH and Shell Rock, IA. Unverferth currently operates three divisions for specific product lines: 1) Unverferth: grain handling equipment, tillage equipment and wheel systems; 2) Town and Country, Ltd.: Minuteman attachments, Freedom, 3-point and construction equipment; 3) Alliance Product Group: Top Air sprayers, Parker Grain handling and Kill Bros. handling equipment.

Ohio NAMA has agreed to try and hold at least one “tour” and one educational or motivational meeting per year. Our goal is to have at least one other meeting annually.

We are always looking for other places to visit and hear about their successful marketing and management styles. The next Ohio NAMA meeting is planned for March 2007. We are finalizing details with Dale Carnegie to provide a one day training seminar. Details to follow in near future – keep checking your email.
