Our History Report

Practical Products was founded in 1961 by Donald H. Baltzer. While living in Minnesota during the week and working for 3M, Don managed to start a successful business here in Ohio, with the help of his wife Eileen. After 5 long years of running PPCo from afar while still working full time at 3M, he was able to "retire."

I have worked with Thomas for over a decade. I usually call in my order and his customer service is grade "A". Even when I am looking for something he doesn't sell, he will go out of his way to research and provide me with information on where I can get the item. With customer service like this, I can see why Practical Products Company has been in business for so long. Great Service + Great Products = Great Company!
