The Butler Company History
|
The Butler Company was founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1953 by William A. Butler. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the company continued growing and expanding its service areas and sales territories. In the 1960’s and 1970’s The Butler Company continued to expand its reach in the veterinary market, opening branches and telecenters throughout the United States east of the Mississippi. Changes in ownership from William A. Butler to Narco Scientific in 1972 and then to Stephen A. Ritt in 1975 set the stage for the many changes that placed The Butler Company in a prominent position in the veterinary supply marketplace.
