Our Story

Patton Educational Products Company, PEPCO, was started in 1989 by Lewis Patton and his son, David. Lewis, a graduate with a degree in chemistry from the University of Missouri, Columbia, began his career as a chemistry teacher after his honorable discharge from the Army where he worked in chemical warfare testing and development. Living on a farm, he taught school and worked the land and was hired as a field sales representative for a major scientific company. Moving from the farm to Kansas City in the mid 60s, Lewis sold for school furniture and supply companies until he took early retirement in 1989 when PEPCO was founded.
