 MEYER DISTRIBUTING HISTORY

Meyer Distributing was started in Haysville, Indiana, in the mid-1980s by Mike Braun, a man with an honest down-to-earth approach, strong work ethic and focus on customer service. The business Mike acquired, then called Meyer Body Company, initially manufactured truck bodies and later served as a truck parts and equipment distributor.

Mike realized the need for a strong aftermarket accessory distributor focusing on the Midwest. He began serving retailers in Southern Indiana and quickly built a strong list of customers. As the coverage area expanded, the Haysville, Indiana, facility became inefficient. In 1998, Meyer moved into a true warehouse in Jasper, Indiana, to better meet customer needs. As Meyer continued to rapidly grow, additional facilities were added in many other areas nationwide to expand service capabilities.

Today, Meyer Distributing is a leader in specialty products distribution and marketing. Through numerous strategically positioned warehousing facilities, Meyer serves thousands of customers nationwide with most states via Meyer Logistics direct ship. All Meyer associates have but one goal: To improve our ability to offer the fastest, most flexible and most reliable service in the industry. Our hardworking sales staff, mix of over 300 product lines and our high fill rate will provide you with what you need to be profitable on a dependable, repeatable basis.

When you call our toll-free phone lines, you speak to a friendly, live person – not a recording – and are treated like a customer and business professional – not an account number or a credit limit.

mostly purchased and installed for commercial applications.

Times and trucks have changed but Meyer service and dedication remains constant!
