VIDEO: Industry Influencer Joe Koenig on Family, Labor Shortage and Drag Racing
Since taking the reins of Trim-Tex from his father in 1989, Joe Koenig has learned a thing or two about this industry. Neither Koenig nor his father, an immigrant from Yugoslavia with an entrepreneurial mindset who invented the vinyl cornerbead, obtained a college education. However, according to Koenig, he pretty much has a doctorate in Trim-Tex.
Trim-Tex was Koenig’s fathers third go at starting a business. He started in the awning business, then moved to the siding business, until eventually he landed on Trim-Tex.
