THE STORY BEHIND SHARE CORP
In 1970, Paul Des Jardins and his wife, Patricia, had a vision.
Their vision was of a corporation that offered its customers high-quality chemical products at a great price. On November 9, after meeting with thirteen individuals who shared the Des Jardins' desire and determination to make the vision a reality, Share Corporation was born.
Share Corporation's original strategic plan was to service the end-user directly with competitively priced quality products, all while assuring the corporation and its sales force of a fair profit. This plan was implemented at a small, 10,000 square-foot warehouse in Brookfield, Wisconsin, where $100,000 worth of merchandise was shipped in it's first month of existence.
