Peter Spirer Takes Partner in MaxWoods, Relocates Facilities

Adairsville, GA, September 13, 2016—Josh McGrane, COO of MaxWoods, has purchased equity shares in the business from founder and sole shareholder Peter Spirer, CEO. McGrane and Spirer are now equal partners.

In addition, Maxwoods has announced that it is relocating its office and some warehousing facilities.

Currently located in Adairsville, Georgia, the accounting and customer service departments will move to an office building in Key West, Florida, which the company will purchase. The move is anticipated to improve management oversight.

In summarizing the events, Spirer pointed out that "At 85 I am fortunate to be in wonderful health. My plan is to remain active in the marketing and product development side of the business for years to come. Josh is now a full partner and is as good with operations as he is with sales. He'll do a great job running the business. It is appropriate to establish the basis for the future at this time."

He added, "For the last 18 months, we've been making the transition from selling Chinese imports to domestic product. We love how this is working out. The dynamics of this strategic shift have fundamentally changed how we do business. The new model offers greater flexibility, improved service and cost savings. We are now warehousing American-made products in Tennessee, and shipping imports from Georgia and Texas. This puts us closer to our major markets and lowers freight costs for us and our customers.”
