Bartels Group is Established

The world is full of infinite possibilities… And along with these possibilities come challenges. The administrative requirements of running a business in the modern world, the time it takes to find good employees, and the difficulty of telling our companies’ stories in a loud and noisy marketplace can keep us from focusing on what we do best. That’s why Bartels group was founded. To provide organizational support for our business unit leaders and their staff so they can focus and thrive in their areas of expertise.

– 2019 –
