NFIB Member Tiger General Continues 58-Year Tradition
of Customer Service
Since 1925, Tiger General has been selling and building top-quality trucks,
trailers and machinery in rural Medina,
Ohio. Founder Bovie Overholt set high standards for quality work at
a fair price, had he passed his vision on to his son Mark, who overseas the
business today. Whole there are a number of products that Tiger General provides,
it specializes in oil service equipment, including swabbing rigs, double-drum
workover rigs, VAC trucks and winch rig-up trucks.
As Mark Overholt strives to maintain the tradition of quality and service
for which Tiger General has become known, he has also continued the
Tiger General membership with NFIB that was first initiated in t1949.
Overholt continues another tradition of his father's by voicing his
concerns for the protection of free enterprise in OHio.
Overholt is primarily concerned about EPA and other government regulations
that he describes as "smothering". HIs involvement in the NFIB has
picked up right where his father's left off because he values NFIB's
ability to challenge state and federal government by articulating small-business
concerns.
As a business owner, Overholt gains satisfaction from running a business
with honesty and integrity. His rigging and trucking equipment are
high-quality products backed by the best guarantee in the industry,
and he gives a great deal of credit to Tiger General's 18 employees
whom he describes as knowledgeable, hardworking and experienced.
He also likes to keep the family involved. His wife Sherry is the company's
vice president and his son Jon also works at Tiger General
"Being a small-business owner has made me a more educated person," Overholt
says when asked about the best part of being an entrepreneur. " My
business is my hobby that has opened my eyes to the world."
