the Preferred Marketing Group History
PMG/the Preferred Marketing Group was
founded in 1984 by Bill Fero and Charlie
Watterman; serving the Southern California
and Southern Nevada markets. They
started with two lines and quickly were
given the opportunity to represent some
of the industry’s top brands, which are still
represented by the Preferred Marketing
Group today. Jeff Couch purchased Preferred
Marketing in 2001. Jeff had previously been
the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for
Garland/US Range. Since taking the reins at
PMG, Jeff has significantly grown both overall
sales and PMG’s marketing territory. PMG
now serves all of California and Nevada.
Many of PMG’s team members have been
with the company for twenty years. Tony
Valvo, Vice President and General Manager
joined PMG in 1989. PMG boasts a sales
force with a combined industry experience
of more than two hundred years, and
❝ Jeff, your PMG team showed
remarkable creativity and
innovation in assisting us to
achieve increased throughput
in our kitchens with a smaller
footprint, reduced ticket times.
We are very excited to continue
working together.❞

Preferred Marketing represents lines that
continue to build on it’s core foundation
of finding solutions for it’s customers
and over 60% of the brands represented
have consistently been represented by
PMG for over 30 years. After focusing on
mainly system and solution selling of heavy
equipment for twenty years, PMG expanded
into safety and supply items in 2003. They
created PMG Lite, a division of Preferred
Marketing to offer solutions throughout the
remainder of kitchen.
❝ We have enjoyed a great working
relationship with PMG. They are
proactive in insuring we are up to
date on new equipment and systems
and solving any issues that arise
on our projects. We look forward
to a long and enduring professional
relationship with their organization.❞
❝ PMG is one of my best groups
to work with. They are very
professional and work closely
with me to create strategic
plans to grow our business.
They understand what it takes
to gain market share and create
