About Meltblown Technologies’ History, Culture, and Team
Our Leadership
Meltblown Technologies believes in partnership and strategic distribution and relationships that allow us to pull costs from the channel while taking share together. We will continue to innovate and expand the market for our products leading to profitable growth for our customers. We believe that companies are more than the products and services they manufacture and sell. The items we manufacture represent an opportunity for our companies to work together with our mutual customers to provide safe work environments, increase productivity, reduce waste and decrease overall costs. If your current suppliers aren’t living up to these ideals we would appreciate the chance to earn your trust.
Meltblown Technologies manufactures the highest quality of spill control and industrial hygiene products available on the market today in our state of the art facility in Sandersville, Georgia.
Barry Greer
Founder
Barry Greer began his 45 year sorbent career in 1971 as a marketing representative for the Conwed Corporation in St. Paul, Minnesota. Conwed was the first company to introduce sorbents in the form of pads, rolls, booms and sweeps. In 1977 Barry opened his own sorbent distribution company, Industrial Environmental Products, in Atlanta, Georgia.
Derek Yurgaitis
President
“Joining MBT has been more rewarding than I could have imagined. It has been an opportunity to build trusting relationships and a return to focus on the customer. So often in large companies they try to be present in every category instead of concentrating on being the best in a few. MBT is very focused and very concerned about fostering long term relationships. It was a natural fit for me.”
