John Benner

John Benner has been involved with the casual furniture industry for over 35 years, starting with partner Ron O’Meara to create the Benner-O’Meara Co. For over 30 years, the team represented some of the marquis names in the industry: Brown Jordan, Cast Classics and Lloyd Flanders, to name a few.

With Ron’s retirement, John continued creating Benner Sales Inc., which represents leaders in their respective categories – Patio Renaissance, Galtech, Oasis Rolling Bases and Articulated Shade Umbrellas.

John’s goal from day one, which continues today, is to professionally represent his manufacturers and provide his dealers with the support they require. He feels truly blessed to have transitioned relationships with many dealers and manufacturers from business into friendships.>

“I am truly humbled to be considered for this honor. Like they say at the Oscars, it is gratifying to be acknowledged by your peers for the work you do,” he added.
