Bob Ondr:
Founder and CEO
In 1970, fresh out of college, I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, driven by a lifelong desire to build something of my own. My first venture was humble, starting with manufacturing wood pallets in my garage.
My passion for entrepreneurship didn’t stop there. I ventured into new opportunities, including manufacturing wood boxes for the U.S. government by acquiring an established company in that industry. Over time, my enthusiasm for creating and growing businesses led me to start a total of 13 other ventures, some related to the wood industry, others in entirely different fields. The thrill of building businesses, seeing them thrive, and occasionally passing them on to new owners has been a driving force throughout my career.
After selling my last business and stepping into retirement, I found myself seeking a new challenge. That’s when I discovered the world of collecting art. To display the pieces I acquired, I began using display pedestals, sparking the idea for my next venture—Elite Pedestals.
I recognize that the display pedestal market is already well-served by several reputable companies with high-quality products and strong online presences. However, my goal with Elite Pedestals is not to compete directly but to carve out a unique niche in the market.
To achieve this, I am assembling a team of experienced advisors who have each been successful in their respective fields. Their expertise will be instrumental in shaping the direction of Elite Pedestals. Initially, our product line will be small and focused, allowing us to refine our offerings and establish a distinct identity in the market.
I look forward to sharing more detailed insights with the design team as we work together to bring this vision to life.
