Phillips History
Phillips Manufacturing Co. was founded in October of 1955 in Omaha, Nebraska by Mr. Phil Sokolof to meet the demands of a growing industry. Phillips original focus was perfecting the production and distribution of metal corner bead. Before long, Phillips had expanded into several variations of corner beads and trims. In 1969, Phillips built a new facility in Omaha, Nebraska to increase production space. Business was booming and another facility was added in Omaha in 1973.
On November 11, 1992, Mr. George Kubat took ownership of Phillips Manufacturing Co. and led the company to many successes. Mr. Kubat brought his expansive business knowledge to Phillips. Before Phillips, he was a 25-year CPA tax partner of a national accounting firm among many other key leadership roles.
