MECO - Key Persons

Frank Futrelle, Rentz Woodruff and Mike Scudder were employed by Mr. Matthews during the fifties and were instrumental in the early growth and success of MECO. As the business prospered in each of the territories, offices were opened in Augusta, Atlanta and Florence to better serve the customers in each region. Frank opened the Augusta office in 1959, Rentz opened the Florence office in 1964 and Mike opened the Atlanta office in 1965. Over time, each man would assume ownership of these operations. During the seventies, a second generation began their careers at MECO and additional offices were opened and new ownership opportunities arose.
