I often
ask my marketing department to, “tell the story”, the story of M-Rock. The
story is simple, M-Rock reached a time in the company’s history where we
stopped making the same ordinary products that everyone else does and decided
to make extraordinary products.
The
whole story goes a little like this. When I was twenty years old and in college
I found myself with a screen printing company, which is a long story in itself.
The company was no more than a name and a few pieces of cheap equipment, of
which I did not know how to use. I was off and running with a new business, off
being the key word. I have often said I learned everything in business the hard
way, and all things considered I think I learned those lessons well.
Twelve
years later and a lot more of the hard
way . . . I had started to figure this little screen printing business out.
Over the years we had added embroidery, signs and great service. Vision
Graphics was a small town success! Now in my early 30’s local opportunities
lead me toward the start of M-Rock. All the experiences of vision Graphics had
prepared me to look at the start of this new company in a different way. I
wanted to develop this company to compete on a national level and I wanted to
develop a successful brand name.
Along
comes M-Rock. The name had to be a part of me, not an arrogant thought, only a
constant reminder that this company and the products we produce would always
represent me. I would skip as much of the “hard way” of learning with the start
of M-Rock and so from day one we produced and sold quality products. We also
backed these quality products with quality service. These philosophies were the
foundations of M-Rock: quality products, backed with quality service.
Now back
to the “tell the story”, story. I always took pride in being from rural West
Virginia, and I wanted to prove that a country boy could compete on a national
level, produce better more innovative products, and ultimately build a better
company from small town USA. . .and we did.
Over two
years ago I decided to change our already successful company into something
different, a company driven by extraordinary products, and that is what we have
done. Just watch what we will do next.
As the
founder and President of M-Rock I invite you to visit our web site, send us an
email, or give us a call. Check out our products, and if you want a company
that is building extraordinary products, look no further than M-Rock.
Sincerely,
Matt Mann
Founder, President/CEO
