Nexstep Commercial Products (Exclusive Licensee of O-Cedar) is proud to announce Modern Sales Company of Olmsted, Ohio as its 2014 Sales Rep Agency of the Year.

Modern Sales has represented Nexstep Commercial Products since April 2013. The agency was founded by Larry Flury in 1975, after spending many years as the national sales manager of a large polyethylene can liner manufacturer. His philosophy was to help distributors build their businesses by offering quality manufactured products at competitive prices. Over the years Modern Sales has developed long lasting relationships with their distributor network in the Ohio, West Virginia, Western Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan markets.

Today Modern Sales is headed up by two of Larry's children, Charlie Flury and Nancy Pailes. They continue to work with and build on the distributor, manufacturer and end-user relationships in their area, specializing in janitorial and disposable foodservice items. Modern Sales has six full time salespeople (Charlie Flury, Nancy Pailes, Rick Pailes, Mike Flury, Bob Foeller and Bill Umbarger), as well as a two full time office manager/sales support personnel (Sandi Olbrysh, Kathy Stanich).

Rick Pailes says, “We truly enjoy our relationship with Nexstep/O’Cedar. In addition to offering a high quality line of products, Nexstep has a top notch group of dedicated people who help make our life (and or distributors’ lives) easier. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to work with than our sales manager, Erin Busch. She is always available and eager to help with any opportunities or problems that might arise. Todd Leventhal has done a great job of finding the right people at Nexstep. The customer service has been excellent. Getting bids and pricing, requesting samples, getting shipping info, handling any product/delivery issues has been fantastic. We know our distributors appreciate the care and service they get from Nexstep. We are very happy to be able to represent such  fine organization.”

Nexstep Commercial Products would like to express their appreciation to Modern Sales Company and congratulate them on their outstanding accomplishments in 2014.
