Marshank Sales
Norman Marshank joined his father’s independent manufacturer’s representatives full time after serving in World War II. His father, David, formed Marshank Sales in Los Angeles in 1920 and over the years the company grew as did the pro-audio industry. Norm took over the business and oversaw its growth during the home audio craze of the 1950s and the home recording popularity in the 1970s. His son Gary took over the family firm when Norm retired and continues to focus on customer service and quality products just as Gary’s grandfather had in the beginning.
