Welcome to the 2018 Power 50 list, which ranks the most influential people in the industry.

#24 Kurt Kaeser & Gregg Emmer, Kaeser & Blair (asi/238600)

2017 Rank: 27

On the strength of consistent sales and strong peer scores, Kaeser and Emmer crack our top 25 and enjoy their highest ranking in eight years. Their Ohio-based firm reported 2017 revenue of $114.3 million as K&B’s dealers are increasingly focusing on creative services rather than just products. The duo operates an impressive family-run company that’s now in its fourth generation and will celebrate its 125-year anniversary in 2019.
