Jerry M. Wolf is the Founder, Chairman, and Chief
Executive Officer of Midwest Acoust-A-Fiber, Inc. ("Acoust-A-Fiber").

After the program was scaled down, Mr. Wolf and five
other colleagues formed a company called Specialty Composites.
Recognizing the opportunity to further develop fiber-engineered
composite technology, Mr. Wolf left Specialty Composites in 1979
and founded Acoust-A-Fiber.
Through
all the trials and tribulations of those early years the break
finally came for Acoust-A-Fiber when it was awarded a $2 million
contract from Ford Motor Company to produce an engine tunnel insulator
for the Econoline van. Upon receiving the contract from Ford,
the Company moved its operations to a rented building in Ostrander,
Ohio. In 1989, outgrowing the Ostrander facility, the Company
constructed its current headquarters located in Delaware, Ohio.
In 1994 a second facility was opened in Delaware to service a
growing heat shielding market.
In addition the "Wolf Group" of
companies is made up to three other "Sister Companies" who
supply similar products to Off-Road, Appliance, Heavy Duty
Truck, and Open Office Interior markets.
