by our strategic goal of expanding our field operations business in the Midwest
June 15, 2022 — Minnesota Elevator, Inc. (MEI) one of Midwest largest independent union elevator contractors, announced that it has acquired Interstate Elevator based in Topeka, Kansas. Interstate Elevator provides elevator Maintenance, Repairs and Modernization services.
Interstate Elevator has what MEI President, Rick Lowenberg, calls a “very good fit for our Kansas Missouri division. The equipment will be serviced by seasoned mechanics in the area Interstate serves today.”
Working together with MEI Sales Staff and Field Operations team, this acquisition will provide many more opportunities as well as enhanced customer service for all.
The customer base of Interstate Elevator and MEI complement one another, as they appeal to a similar audience, yet introduce new cultures as well. Since establishing Interstate Elevator in 2005, Bryan Ball and Jake Poteete have provided exceptional service. Bryan Ball is going to retire and Jake will continue with MEI to continue the relationships they have developed with their customers and appreciate their loyalty. “MEI is the company we chose to take over our business so we will continue to work with MEI on day-to-day operations.
We believe you will benefit from a larger company structure while maintaining small company value. We would like to thank all our loyal customers and look forward to continued service with you as an employee of MEI.”
