Morty Brown Founder of MBA

MBA History

MBA was founded by Morty Brown in 1970.  Prior to becoming an independent rep, Morty worked for many years in national sales for ITEMS, Inc., one of the original suppliers of rawhide products to the pet industry.  As a Manufacturers’ Representative, he covered the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States.   It’s hard to imagine now, but Morty covered the entire territory and all accounts on his own.  His wife, Marilyn, ran the home office, took care of the finances and provided customer service while he was on the road. 

Errol joined his parents in the business in 1988, and Lynn followed in 1990.  Morty had a sharp eye toward recognizing potential new ideas, and the Browns were known for assisting entrepreneurial  companies in launching innovative products, helping to  pioneer new categories such as:
