The Ismert family has a long history in the plumbing industry including manufacturing, wholesale and now manufacturer’s agents.
John Paul Ismert and Mark Ismert purchased Gathright Sales in January 2002, and changed the name to Bulls-i Sales. The Gathrights had the rep agency since 1952 and were rooted in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas. Well established lines such as Florestone, PipeConX and Centoco came with the purchase and John and Mark have grown the agency to include fast-growing manufacturers such as Sioux Chief, Dahl Valve, Pioneer Industries, Schier Products, Striem, Midland Metal, and JB Products.
John’s background includes over 10 years in the wholesale plumbing business as an outside salesman.
Mark’s background includes remodeling and working in manufacturing for 12 years.
Andrea is the friendly voice you usually hear on the other end of the phone. She’s been a plumbing wholesale showroom manager for nearly 20 years and brings with her a wealth of industry knowledge.
