The Maly's Difference

Doing things the right way so we may
provide our customers with the best
possible products and service.

History - "The Maly's Story"         top of page

As a young salesman for a beauty supply distributor, Ken Maly
observed the industry he was working for and thought, "I can do it
better." With those entrepreneurial words, Ken and wife Marlene, established his modest wholesale beauty supply business in his
garage, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Ken’s fundamental, yet passionate philosophies proved to be a
successful formula: respect the client, provide them with the
highest quality products and educate them on product usage.
Maly’s first year sales totaled $100,000, but by the end of 1978, Maly’s had grown to six sales people, a new "state of the art" distribution center and sales totaling in excess of $1,000,000. Ken always attributed much of his accomplishments to the support
and assistance of his wife Marlene and their five children, who all pitched in with the never-ending day-to-day tasks that helped
propel the company’s growth.

Despite industry consolidation, the next several years proved to be very fruitful for Maly’s, earning the reputation of being one of
the largest and most respected distributors in the nation. As expansion efforts continued, Maly’s pioneered new untapped markets throughout the Midwest, recruiting dozens of sales consultants to cover new and explosive markets. Maly's now has two divisions covering 10 states, and is the largest independent, family owned distributor in the country.

As Maly's grew, the company became the bench mark of what a great distributor should be, making the customers success
their focus. In a rare and bold move Maly's opened an academy of cosmetology. By offering an exceptionally high standard of
education to up and coming hairdressers Maly's could help salon owners find well trained stylists to help fill their staffing needs.
Today there are 5 Excel Academies in three states and they are widely considered the best schools in the Midwest.

Today Maly's still holds true to the ideal that Ken started so long ago, "Dedicated to the Salon Professional". Maly's is dedicated
to finding new and better ways of bringing the beauty business to higher level and will continue to do that on into the future.

Philanthropy - "Giving Back to our Communities"         top of page

At Maly’s we believe that giving back and supporting our communities is extremely important and it is dear to our hearts.
Therefore we spend a great deal on cash and product donations every year.

Maly's has donated tens of thousands in cash and product to local and national charities in the past. For us it is important to help
at the local level, so much of what we donate is done in conjunction with our customers and the charities that matter most
to them.

We are also conscious on a national level. Maly's was proud to have donated over $30,000 in personal care products to the
Tsunami Relief effort in South Asia and to have donated a
tremendous amount of personal care products to the victims of
Hurricane Katrina.

At Maly's we are proud to support our community and will continue to do so long into the future.
