Our History: Over 50 Years in the Making
Russ starts his career at Kroger
After working his way through college, Russ Feldkamp Sr., begins a life-long career with Kroger. He starts in management training and works his way up to the Vice President of Merchandising.
Russ retires from Kroger and launches Feldkamp Marketing
In 1987 Russ retires from Kroger and applies his decades of experience working on projects for 3M, General Electric, Eveready, Rug Doctor and St. Ives, to name a few, and launches Feldkamp Marketing.
Russ adds his sons, Russ, Dan, and Jeff, to the team
In the early 90’s Russ recruits his sons to join Feldkamp Marketing. Russ, Dan, and Jeff bring various experiences from their careers in the U.S. Military, the U.S. Government, and Private Sector.
Russ, Dan, and Jeff buy Feldkamp Marketing
The brothers continue to build on Russ’ success and expand its scope and brand base. Investment into Kroger’s systems and clients’ needs result in exponential growth. Additionally, the hands-on ownership and accountability means superior service and support for Feldkamp clients.
Feldkamp continues to grow
Feldkamp Marketing continues to grow by leveraging deep Kroger insight. The company experiences record growth during this time and a record year in 2020. Feldkamp expands into dozens of additional commodities in Kroger and helps launch brand new ones!
