MEET JEFF WIEDEMAN
Chances are, if you're a long-time customer with ARP Materials, Jeffrey Wiedeman is a familiar face to you.

Jeff has been with ARP Materials for 18 years. He started out as a part-time sales representative while working in the financial industry full-time. The strong family atmosphere attracted Jeff to the business and after just a few months, he was offered a full-time position. Jeff never looked back.

At that time, Jeff traveled extensively to companies in the Midwest and was able to build solid and lasting relationships with his customers that hold strong today.

As the company grew in the early 2000's, so did our suppliers and our product offerings. Jeff and Jerry Jr. began traveling all over the world to visit new suppliers in Brazil, India, Argentina and China that produced products such as CPE, NBR, SBR, Reclaim Rubber - to name a few!

J eff's success is due to the great relationships he's built along the way and his vast knowledge of the products. With Jeff’s humble attitude and tremendous work ethic we look forward to many more years of his service.

When Jeff is not traveling, he enjoys spending time with his wife, five children and his granddaughter. 
Every month, we will highlight a different member of our team!
