About


L. M. Becker & Co., Inc. is the company Lyle M. Becker founded in 1941. At 18 years old, he started as a vending operator by placing and servicing peanut vending machines in local bars and taverns in and around Brillion, Wisconsin. As time went on, he placed and serviced vending machines in small grocery stores containing gum and candy. Later, small toys and trinkets were added to the vending compartments and the business continued to grow and expand into other directions. Vacuum cleaner bags, candles, toothbrushes, incense, combs, and other counter top items were added to his servicing route and product line. Eventually, product and equipment demands became large enough for him to import his own items from overseas and manufacture his own vending equipment and the company expanded and continued to evolve and adjust throughout the years.

		Today, the small family owned company continues to thrive on its core bulk vending supply business which now imports and sells over 40 million toy, novelty, and children's jewelry items each year. The company now headquartered in Kimberly, Wisconsin, currently employs over 40 people. Lyle continues to enjoy his years of retirement with his wife Dolores in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Core Values Their youngest son Jonathan is now at the helm who inherited many of his parent's personality traits and core values that became fundamental principles of how the company operates: Honesty and Truthfulness with our employees, customers and suppliers. Integrity in always choosing what would be Spiritually and Morally right when confronted with difficult business decisions. Ethics relative to the safety and selection of products we decide to import and distribute to children.
